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 you use this feature when the
engine is not running, then the battery
discharges. There may be insufficient power
to restart your engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the outlet and blows 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 engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
discharging:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is in park
(P) for extended periods of time. Locations
You may find power points:
•
On the center console.
• Inside the center console storage bin.
• On the rear of the center console (12V
or 110V AC).
• In the rear cargo area.
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 may 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 turns off when you
switch the ignition off or the battery voltage
drops below 11 volts. You can use the power point for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts. The power point is on the rear of the
center console.
122
Escape (TM2), enUSA, First 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 and ignition are
off, and you do not have a device
plugged in.
• Flashing — the power point is in fault
mode.
The power point temporarily turns off if
you exceed the 150-watt limit. When
overloaded, overheated or shorted, the
power point can also switch to a fault
mode. For overloading and shorting
conditions, unplug your device, then switch
the ignition off and back on. For
overheating conditions, let the system cool,
then switch the ignition off and back on.
Do not use the power point to power
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.

or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while your
vehicle is moving. Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your

injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while your
vehicle is moving. The auxiliary input jack allows you to
connect and play music from your 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 engine, radio and
portable music player. Set the parking
brake and put the transmission in
position P.
2. Plug the extension cable from the portable music player into the auxiliary
input jack.
3. Switch the radio on. Select either a tuned FM station or a CD.
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Switch your portable music player on and adjust its volume to half its
maximum level.
6. Press
MEDIA until LINE or LINE IN
appears in the display. You should hear
music from your device even if it is low.
