Your vehicle may be equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp)
power outlets that can be used to power cellular
phones, small electronics and other low powered elec-
trical accessories.
The Instrument Panel Power Outlet is located in the
storage compartment under the climate control but-
tons. It will only operate when the ignition is in the
ON/RUN position.

NOTE:
•
Do not connect devices, with a power rating higher
than 180 W, to the outlet. Do not use power adapt-
ers that do not fit the outlet as this may damage it.
•
All accessories connected to the battery powered
outlets should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
If equipped, a power outlet is located in the rear cargo
area.

WARNING!
If this outlet is misused, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.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.
CAUTION!
•
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.
•
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 bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
•
After the use of high power draw accessories, 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 gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
