Accessory Power

Outlet(s)

The accessory power outlets can be used to connect auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular phone.

The vehicle has two accessory power outlets. One accessory power outlet is located under the climate controls and the other is located inside the center floor console.

To use the outlet, the ignition must be in ON/RUN or ACC/ ACCESSORY. Pull down the small cover to access the outlet.

Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum amperage rating.

This circuit is protected by a fuse and has a maximum current level. Do not use equipment exceeding the maximum amperage rating.

Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible to the power accessory outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see your dealer/retailer for additional information on the power accessory plugs.

Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 10 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding electrical equipment.

When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment.

Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from

the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only.
