Power Outlets - RAM 3500 2012 User Manual

POWER OUTLETS

• There are three possible 12 Volt power outlets located in the vehicle. Lower left
and lower right of the instrument panel and inside the upper lid of the center
storage compartment. A key symbol on the outlet cover indicates that the key
must be in the ON or ACC positions for the outlet to provide power. The
battery symbol on the outlet cover indicates that the outlet is connected to the
battery, and can provide power at all times. All accessories connected to the
outlet(s) should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the battery against discharge.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet 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 warranty.
