Electrical Power Outlets
There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet, located
in the floor console, for added convenience. This power
outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and other low
power devices.
Power is available when the ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN or START position. Insert the cigar lighter or
accessory plug into the outlet for use. To preserve the
heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating
position. CAUTION!• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts
(13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts (13 Amps)
power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the
system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as
this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Im-
proper use of the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Your vehicle is also equipped with a charge-only USB
power outlet that can be used to power cellular phones,
small electronics, and other low powered electrical acces-
sories. This USB charging outlet is located inside the glove
compartment.Center Stack Power Outlet68 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
