The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a
“battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered.
Power outlets labeled with a “key” can be powered when
the ignition is in the ON or ACC position, while the
outlets labeled with a “battery” are connected directly to
the battery and powered at all times.
These power outlets can also operate a conventional cigar
lighter unit.
NOTE:
•The front integrated center stack power outlet can be
changed from switched “ignition” to constant “bat-
tery” powered all the time by moving the integrated
center stack fuse #12 in the Rear Power Distribution
Center from fuse location “IGN” to “B+.” Refer to
“Rear Power Distribution Center (Fuses)” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle.” •
To ensure proper operation, a MOPAR cigar knob and
element must be used.
The front power outlet is located next to the storage area
on the integrated center stack of the instrument panel.
