Accessory Power Outlets
Console Version shown
On vehicles with a center console, it is located at the
rear of the console. Lift the cover to access the
outlet. Close the cover when not using the outlet.
On vehicles without a center console, it is located in the
ashtray drawer to the right of the ashtray. Remove
the rubber cover to access the outlet. When not using
the outlet, make sure the cover is on it.
Your vehicle has a 12-volt
outlet which can be used
to plug in electrical
equipment such as a
cellular telephone,
a compact disc player, etc.
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.
Certain accessory plugs may not be compatible to the
accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle
and adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see
your dealer for additional information on the power
accessory plugs.
Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
equipment. Check with your dealer before adding
electrical equipment, and never use anything that
exceeds the amperage rating.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.
