Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off - Chrysler PT Cruiser Owner's Manual

142 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
There is one optional power outlet located in the right
rear cargo area.
Rear Power Outlet
The Rear Power Outlet is powered directly by the battery.
As an option, fuse #11 in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM), may be repositioned to allow power to come from
the ignition switch only, when in the ON or ACC
position.
NOTE: The Rear Power Outlet will not accept a cigar
lighter unit as it is intended only for accessory items.

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off

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.
