POWER INVERTER
• A 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet is
located on the lower instrument panel next
to the climate control knob. This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up
to 150 Watts.
• To turn on the power outlet, press the
switch once.
• Press the switch a second time to turn the
power outlet off. The status indicator of the
AC power inverter indicates whether the
inverter is producing AC power.
NOTE: 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 electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically
reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have
to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in
again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices
prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death: Do not use a three-prong adapter. Do not insert any
objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the lid when not in
use. If this outlet is mishandled it may cause an electric shock and failure.
POWER OUTLET

the instrument panel – without floor mounted shifter. Inside the top storage tray –
with floor mounted shifter. Inside the upper lid of the center storage compartment.
Rear of the center console storage compartment – Quad Cab or Crew Cab. The power
