Inadvertent Power Battery Saver

This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the taillamps, license plate
lamps, instrument panel lights, and parking lamps. When
the ignition is turned off, the power to these features
will automatically turn off after 5 seconds once the
driver's door is closed.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)

With the accessory power outlet, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
The accessory power outlet is located next to the
parking brake on the center console.
To use the outlet, remove the protective cap. When not
in use, always cover the outlet with the protective
cap. The accessory power outlet is operational when
the ignition is turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN.
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.

vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not use equipment

When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
