INTERNAL EQUIPMENT
Power Outlets

Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp)
power outlets that can be used to power cellular
phones, small electronics and other low
powered electrical accessories. 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”
are 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.

NOTE:
All accessories connected to the “battery”
powered outlets should be removed or turned
off when the vehicle is not in use to protect
the battery against discharge.
The front power outlet is located on the
center stack of the instrument panel.
Front Power Outlet
In addition to the front power outlet, there is
also a power outlet located in the rear cargo
area.
Rear Cargo Area Power Outlet
If you are required to drive with the lift -
gate open, make sure that all windows
are closed, and the climate control
blower switch is set at high speed. Do
not use the recirculation mode.
WARNING!
Personal injury or cargo damage may occur
if caught in the path of the liftgate. Make
sure the liftgate path is clear before
activating the liftgate.
WARNING! (Continued)
CAUTION!
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. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 52

(Continued)
NOTE:
The rear cargo area power outlet can be
switched from “ignition” only to constant
“battery” powered all the time. See an
authorized dealer for details.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
Power Inverter Location
There is a 230 Volt inverter outlet located on
the back of the center console to convert DC current to AC current. This outlet can power
cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power. Certain
high-end game consoles will exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.
To turn on the power inverter outlet, simply
plug in the device. The outlet automatically
turns off when the device is unplugged.
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating is
exceeded, the power inverter will automati
-
cally shut down. Once the electrical device
has been removed from the outlet the
inverter should automatically reset. To avoid
overloading the circuit, check the power
ratings on electrical devices prior to using
the inverter.
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.)
will degrade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's
battery.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the recep -
tacles.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.

If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible
brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a
problem with the Brake Booster has been
detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on
until the condition has been corrected. If the
problem is related to the brake booster, the
ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci -
fied level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during
sharp cornering maneuvers, which change
fluid level conditions. The vehicle should
have service performed, and the brake fluid
level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate
repair is necessary.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec
-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is
required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position.
The light should illuminate for approximately
four seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illumi -
nate, have the light inspected by an autho -
rized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position. NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake
is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
Battery Charge Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate
when the battery is not charging
properly. If it stays on while the
engine is running, there may be a malfunc -
tion with the charging system. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the
electrical system or a related component.
Door Open Warning Light
This indicator will illuminate when a
door is ajar/open and not fully
closed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light
on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the vehicle. You could have a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
