With the accessory power outlet you can plug in auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio.

If your vehicle has a front console, the accessory power outlet (12-volt ) is located at the rear of the front console. If your vehicle has a floor console, the outlet is located at the rear of the floor console.

To use the outlet, remove the protective cap which covers it. When not using it, always cover the outlet with the protective cap.

The accessory power outlet will only operate when the ignition key is in ON and for 10 minutes after turning the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and for extended periods of time, see "Engine Compartment Fuse Block" under Fuses and Circuit Breakers or see your dealer for more information.

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 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 for additional information on accessory power outlets.

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 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.
