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 engine is not running,
the battery will discharge. There may be
insufficient power to restart your engine.
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
you may blow a fuse.
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
being discharged:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or while the vehicle remains
parked for extended periods of time.
Locations
Power points may be found:
• In front of 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 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 you
switch off the ignition or the battery voltage
drops below 11 volts. 155
MKC (TME), enUSA Auxiliary Power PointsE143941

You can use the power point, located on the
rear of the center console, for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts.
When the indicator light, located on the
power point, is:
•
on — power point is working, ignition is
on and you have the device plugged in.
• off — power point is off, ignition is off or
you do not have a device plugged in.
• flashing — power point is in fault mode.
The power point temporarily turns off power
if you exceed the 150 watt limit. It can also
switch to a fault mode when it overloads,
overheats or shorts. For overloading and
shorting conditions, unplug your device and
switch the ignition off and then back on. For
overheating conditions, let the system cool
off, then turn the ignition off and then back
on. 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine speeds
can produce very high temperatures
in the engine and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire. Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer immediately. Do not
drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8
kilometers) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving characteristics
during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
