If your vehicle has an accessory power outlet, you can plug in auxiliary electrical equipment.

The accessory power outlet is located in the center console near the parking brake.

To use the outlet, open the cover. When not using it, always cover the outlet with the protective cap.

These circuits are protected by a fuse and have maximum current levels.

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.

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 for additional information on the power accessory plugs.

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

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.

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.
