Power Inverter - If Equipped - Jeep COMPASS 2020 Owner's Manual

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 accesso-

ries, 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
Power Inverter Location
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt 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 up to 150 Watts.
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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload 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 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:
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.
