A 115 Volt (150 Watts Maximum) outlet is located on the
center stack of the instrument panel, to the right of the

Watts. Certain high-end video game consoles will exceed
this power limit, as will most power tools.

protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded,
the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once
the electrical device has been removed from the outlet the
inverter should automatically reset.
To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in the device.
The outlet automatically turns off when the device is
