POWER OUTLET
• There are two 12 Volt electrical outlets on this vehicle.
• The outlet on the front console has power available only when the ignition is in
the ON/RUN position. If desired, this outlet can be converted by your
authorized dealer to provide power with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
• The second outlet in the center console is powered directly from the battery
(power available at all times). Items plugged into this outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent engine starting.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
