Outlet(s)
Accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in auxiliary electrical
equipment.
The vehicle has an accessory
power outlet on the center floor
console below the shift lever.
To use the outlet, the ignition
must be in ON/RUN or
ACC/ACCESSORY. Pull down the
small cover to access the outlet.
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.
This circuit is protected by a fuse
and has a maximum current level.
Do not use equipment exceeding
the maximum amperage rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible to the power
accessory outlet and could result
in a blown vehicle or adapter
fuse. See your dealer/retailer for
additional information on the power
accessory plugs.
