12-volt DC power point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use
of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury. Note:
If used when the vehicle is not
running, the battery will discharge. There
may be insufficient power to restart your
vehicle.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
being discharged:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is parked
for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found: •
on the front of the center console
• inside the center console storage bin
• in the luggage compartment.
110-volt AC power point (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110-volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Doing so my cause the
power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond
the 150-watt load limit and could result in
fire or serious injury. Note:
The power point will turn off when
the ignition is switched off or the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts. The power point is used for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts. It is located on the rear of the center
console.

C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing Auxiliary Power PointsE143941

When the indicator light, located on the
power point, is:
•
on — the power point is working, the
ignition is on and a device is plugged
in.
• off — the power point is off, the ignition
is off or no device is plugged in.
• flashing — the power point is in fault
mode.
The power point temporarily turns off
power if the 150-watt limit is exceeded. It
can also switch to a fault mode when it is
overloaded, overheated or has shorted.
Unplug your device and switch the ignition
off then on for overloading and shorting
conditions. Let the system cool off, then
turn the ignition off then on for an
overheating condition.
The power point is not designed for electric
devices such as:
• Cathode-ray, tube-type televisions
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools, compressor-driven refrigerators,
etc.
• Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical
equipment, measuring equipment, etc.
• Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets, touch-sensor lamps, etc.

the risk of serious injury. The audio input jack allows you to connect
and play music from a portable music
player through your vehicle speakers. You
can use any portable music player
designed for use with headphones.
Your audio extension cable must have
male 1/8th-inch (3.5 millimeter)
connectors at each end. 1.
Switch off the radio and portable music
player. Apply the parking brake and
shift the transmission into park (P) for
automatic transmission or first gear for
manual transmission. Switch the
