Accessory power outlets can be used to connect auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone.

One accessory power outlet is located inside the center floor console. Lift up on the lower latch located at the front of the console lid to access the accessory power outlet.

There may also be an accessory power outlet located on the rear of the center floor console above the cupholder.

Remove the protective cap to use the accessory power outlet. When not in use, always cover the accessory power outlet with the protective cap.

Do not try to put the cigarette lighter in any of the accessory power outlets.

Notice: If electrical devices are left plugged into a power outlet, the battery may drain causing the vehicle not to start or damage to the battery. This would not be covered by the warranty. Always unplug all electrical devices when turning off the vehicle.

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

The accessory power outlets are powered, even when the ignition is in LOCK/OFF. Continuing to use power outlets while the ignition is in LOCK/OFF may cause the vehicle's battery to run down.

Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the vehicle can 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 20 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 electrical equipment you install.

Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by the 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.
