Power Inverter - If Equipped - Chrysler PACIFICA 2018 User Manual

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt out-
let.
• 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.). Eventu-
ally, 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., cool-
ers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with greater caution.

CAUTION!
• After the use of high power draw accessories,
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.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 115 or 230 Volt, 150 Watt Power Inverter
outlet located on the right side of the vehicle, be-
fore the third row of seats to convert DC current to
AC current. The Power Inverter can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power devices
requiring up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end video
game consoles will exceed this power limit, as will
most power tools.
115 Volt Power Inverter
The Power Inverter will automatically turn on and
off when the device is plugged in or removed.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in over-
load protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is
exceeded, the Power Inverter will automatically shut
down. Once the electrical device has been removed
from the Power Inverter it will automatically reset.
To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power
ratings on electrical devices prior to using the Power
Inverter.
