GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 31

The power outlet is located on the central
tunnel, between the two cup holders. It only
operates with the ignition key in the MAR (ON/
RUN) position.
Power Outlet Fuse Location (F86)
WARNING!
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.

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 the
engine from starting.

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.

After the use of high power draw accesso -
ries, 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.

Do not exceed the maximum power of
180 Watts (15 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
180 Watts (15 Amps) 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 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.
CAUTION! (Continued)
