When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to
unplug any equipment as to not drain the
battery of the vehicle. All accessories con-
nected to the outlet(s) should be removed or
turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the battery against discharge.
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
CAUTION!
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.
• 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 gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
If equipped, a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maxi-
mum) inverter may be located inside the
center console towards the right hand side,
just under the Wireless Charging Pad (if
equipped). This inverter can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Cer-
tain high-end video game consoles exceed
this power limit, as will most power tools.
There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts
Maximum) power inverter located on the rear
of the center console. This inverter can power
cellular phones, electronics and other low
power
devices requiring power up to
400 Watts. Certain high-end video game con-
soles exceed this power limit, as will most
power tools.
All power inverters are designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
400 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
shuts down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet the inverter
should reset.
