120 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The vehicle has five accessory power
outlets:
.One near the cupholders on the
center console.
. One inside the center console.
. One on the rear of the center
console.
. One in the third row seat on the
driver side.
. One in the rear cargo area on the
passenger side.
Lift the cover to access and replace
when not in use.
The accessory power outlets are
powered as follows:
. The power outlet near the
cupholders on the center console
is powered in Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) mode. This outlet can
be configured to operate using
RAP or battery power. If the power
outlet is used while in the battery
power mode, this could cause
interference between the RKE
transmitter and the vehicle, and
the vehicle may not start. See
Ignition Positions 0197. .
The power outlets inside the
center console and on the rear of
the center console are powered
when the ignition is in ON/RUN/
START or ACC/ACCESSORY,
or until the driver door is opened
within 10 minutes of turning off
the vehicle. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) 0200.
. The power outlets in the third row
seat and in the rear cargo area are
powered at all times.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the
outlets. Do not leave electrical
equipment plugged in when the
vehicle is not in use because the
vehicle could catch fire and cause
injury or death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment
plugged in for an extended period
of time while the vehicle is off will
drain the battery. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in
use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 15 amp
rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload
vehicle or adapter fuses. If a problem
is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0252.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.

168 LIGHTING
Hazard Warning Flashers
|:Press to make the front and rear
turn signal lamps flash on and off.
Press again to turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers are
on, the vehicle's turn signals will
not work.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
An arrow on the instrument cluster
flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
Move the turn signal lever all the way
up or down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever for less than
one second until the arrow starts to
flash to signal a lane change. This
causes the turn signals to
automatically flash three times. It will
flash six times if Tow/Haul Mode is
active. Holding the turn signal lever
for more than one second will cause
the turn signals to flash until the
lever is released. The lever returns to its starting
position whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane
change the arrows flash rapidly or do
not come on, a signal bulb could be
burned out.
Replace any burned out bulbs. If a
bulb is not burned out, check the fuse.
See
Fuses 0278.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more
than 1.2 km (0.75 mi), a chime sounds
at each flash of the turn signal. The
message TURN SIGNAL ON will also
appear in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). To turn the chime and
message off, move the turn signal
lever to the off position.

Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses to protect
against an electrical system overload.
Fuses also protect power devices in
the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, there are
some spare fuses and a fuse puller in
the left instrument panel fuse block.
The same amperage fuse can also be
borrowed. Choose some feature of the
vehicle that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away if
the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause wiper
linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield
before using the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by fuses.
This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse. If the band is broken or
melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating.Fuses of the same amperage can be
temporarily borrowed from another
fuse location, if a fuse goes out.
Replace the fuse as soon as you can.
Engine Compartment Fuse
Block
The engine compartment fuse block is
in the engine compartment, on the
driver side of the vehicle.
Lift the cover to access the fuse block.
