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

Your vehicle has two accessory power outlets under the climate controls; one inside the center storage console and one on the back of the floor console. There is also an accessory power outlet in the rear cargo area on the passenger side.

To use the power outlet, lift the spring cap and insert electrical 12V device plug. To close the power outlet, remove 12V electrical device plug and the spring cap will close.

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

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

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.
