Power Inverter — If Equipped
Power Inverter Location
58
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 over-
loading the circuit, check the power ratings
on electrical devices prior to using the
inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
• 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.
