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 dis-
charge 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 discharge the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
CAUTION!
• After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, 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 bat-
tery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
A 115 or 230 Volt (150 Watts Maximum)
outlet is located on the center stack of the
instrument panel, to the right of the radio.
This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles will exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
will automatically shut down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the
outlet the inverter should automatically re-
set.
To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in
the device. The outlet automatically turns off
when the device is unplugged.
NOTE:
• The Power Inverter will only turn on if the
ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
• Due to built-in overload protection, the
power inverter will shut down if the power
rating is exceeded.
