Accessory Power Outlets - Pontiac 2004 Bonneville Owner's Manual

Accessory Power Outlets

With the accessory power outlet you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
If your vehicle has a front console, the accessory power
outlet (12-volt ) is located at the rear of the front
console. If your vehicle has a floor console, the outlet is
located at the rear of the floor console.
To use the outlet, remove the protective cap which
covers it. When not using it, always cover the outlet with
the protective cap.
The accessory power outlet will only operate when the
ignition key is in ON and for 10 minutes after turning
the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power
outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and
for extended periods of time, see "Engine Compartment
Fuse Block" under Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-101 or see your dealer for more information.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.
Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
equipment.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.
