Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off (Battery Fed Configuration); Cupholders - Dodge 2009 Dakota Owner's Manual

150 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
Electrical Outlet Use With Engine OFF (Battery
Fed Configuration)
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 engine starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will discharge the
battery even more quickly. Use these only inter-
mittently 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
generator to recharge the vehicle's battery.

CUPHOLDERS

If your vehicle has bucket seats with a center console,
there are three cupholders located on the console.
