ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS

There is a standard 12-Volt power outlet located in the
instrument panel for added convenience. This outlet can
power cell phones, electronics and other low power
devices.
Power Outlet 12-Volts
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not use a three-prong adapter.
Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving
the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
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.
