Power Outlet Fuses

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 115 Volt AC
(150 Watt maximum) power outlet located on the
back of the center console. This outlet can power
mobile phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. Certain
high-end video game consoles will exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.
Power Inverter

The power inverter is designed with built-in
o v

erload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will
a u

tomatically shut down. Once the electrical
device has been removed from the outlet the
inverter should automatically reset. If the power
rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the
power inverter may have to be reset manually.

Bin And Power Outlet Console Rear

2 — F102 20 Amp Yellow — Cigar Lighter Instru -
ment Panel And Power Outlet Left Rear Cargo Area

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher power
(i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.)
w i

ll degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accesso -
ries, or long periods of the vehicle not being
s t

arted (with accessories still plugged in),
the vehicle must be driven a sufficient
length of time to allow the alternator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of acces -
sory or accessory bracket from the plug.
