Auxiliary Power Jacks
If your vehicle has these
power jacks, they are on
the console to the right
of the driver’s seat.
These jacks provide 12-volt power so you can
operate things such as a citizen’s band (CB) radio
or a cellular phone. You will see positive (red)
and negative (black) outlets. They are protected by
a 15-amp circuit breaker.
Notice: If you plug in FM communications
equipment at the cigarette lighter, you could
damage your vehicle. Over time, the high heat
from the equipment could damage wires and/or
start a fire. Do not plug in FM communications
equipment at the ashtray area.
Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have an ashtray and a cigarette
lighter located in the center floor console. To
open the removable ashtray, flip open the top.
Notice: If you put papers, pins, or other
flammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never
put flammable items in the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way
and let it go. When it’s ready, it will pop back
out by itself.
Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
