Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:
•
Near the floor in the front console bin on the driver’s side
•
In the center console utility compartment
•
On the rear of the center console (inside the second row center
console on vehicles equipped with that feature)
•
In the rear cargo area on the driver’s side trim panel
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if
equipped).
To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s)
over the vehicle capacity of 12V DC/180W. If the power point or cigar
lighter socket is not working, a fuse may have blown. Refer to
Fuses and
relays
in the
Roadside Emergencies
chapter for information on
checking and replacing fuses.
To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to
be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent
the battery from being discharged:
•
do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running,
•
do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and
other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for
extended periods.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
Power point (110V AC) (if equipped)
The 110V AC power point outlet is used for powering electrical devices
that require up to 150W. Exceeding the 150W limit will cause the power
point to cut off the power temporarily to provide overload protection.
Note:
The 110V AC power point is
equipped with a safety cap and a
safety twist tab. They both provide
protection from inserting any object
into the power point other than the
110V AC electrical device plug. The
safety cap should always be in a
closed position whenever the power
point outlet is not in use.
The 110V AC power point is located on the back of the center console
(inside the second row center console on vehicles equipped with that
feature).
