Power Outlet 115 Volt Alternating
Current
Your vehicle may have a power outlet that can be
used to plug in auxiliary electrical equipment
with a maximum limit of 150 watts. If you try to
use equipment that requires more than the limit, a
protection circuit will cut the power supply. To
reset the outlet, unplug the item and plug it back
in or turn the ignition to LOCK or ACCESSORY
and then back on. The power will automatically
restart when equipment that operates within
the limit is plugged into the outlet.
The power outlet is
located on the rear of
the center console.
The indicator on the inner outlet face will come on
when 115 volt AC power is available. The AC
power is available when the ignition is turned to
ACCESSORY or ON, and electrical equipment
is plugged into the outlet. The AC power is
not available in the outlet when the ignition is
turned to OFF.
The power outlet is not designed for the following
electrical equipment and may not work properly
if these items are plugged into the power outlet:
•
Equipment with high initial peak wattage
such as: compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.
•
Other equipment requiring an extremely stable
power supply such as:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets,
touch sensor lamps, etc.
