In addition to the front center stack power
outlet, there is also a power outlet located in the
center console to the left of the media hub.
Power Outlet — Center Console
NOTE:
All accessories connected to these powered
outlets should be removed or turned off when
the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery
against discharge.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of

outlet should be inserted into any
12 Volt outlet.
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!
Do not exceed the maximum power of

160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is
exceeded the fuse protecting the system
will need to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for accessory

plugs only. Do not insert any other object in
the power outlets as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION! (Continued)
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 alternator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
Power outlets are designed for accessory

plugs only. Do not hang any type of acces-
sory or accessory bracket from the plug.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage.
