Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone.
If the vehicle has a center console, the power outlet is
located inside the lower storage area. There are outlets
also on the right front lower part of the driver’s seat and
under the climate control system next to the ashtray.
See Center Console Storage on page 2-62.
There are two accessory power outlets in the rear seat
area located on the door armrests next to the ashtrays.
There may be a small cap that must be removed to
access the accessory power outlet. When not using
the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap.
The accessory power outlet can be used at any time.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the vehicle is
off will drain the battery. Power is always supplied
to the outlets. Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible
to the accessory power outlet and could result in blown
vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem
see your dealer/retailer for additional information on the
accessory power outlets.
Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the
vehicle can damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use
equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating
of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before
adding electrical equipment.
Follow the proper installation instructions that are
included with any electrical equipment you install.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by the warranty. Do not hang
any type of accessory or accessory bracket from
the plug because the power outlets are designed
for accessory power plugs only.
