POWER OUTLET
• The front power outlet is located in the
front center storage bin of the
instrument panel.
• A second front power outlet is located
inside the center console.
• The rear power outlet is located in the
right rear cargo area.

how the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with a “key” are powered when
the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position, while the outlets labeled
with a “battery” are connected directly to the battery and powered at all times.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to
be replaced. See below image for fuse locations.

WARNING!(Continued)
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle,
take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be
jacked on a firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• If it is necessary to retrieve the spare tire from under the vehicle on the side
of the vehicle close to moving traffic, pull far enough off the road to avoid the
danger of being hit.
• Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal
injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far
from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable
and could cause it to slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided.
JUMP-STARTING
• If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery
booster pack.
• Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and precautions.

Preparations for Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located
under the passengers front seat. There
are remote locations under the hood to
assist in jump starting.
• Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into PARK and
turn the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
• Remove the protective cover over the
remote positive (+) battery post. Pull
upward on the cover to remove it.
• If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
• Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the remote positive(+)post of
the discharged vehicle.
• Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post
of the booster battery.
• Connect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
• Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to the remote negative
(-)post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
• Disconnect the negative(-)jumper cable from the remote negative(-)post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Disconnect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable from the negative(-)post of
the booster battery.
• Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
• Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the remote positive(+)
post of the discharged vehicle.
• Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive(+)battery post of the
discharged vehicle.
• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the
battery and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging
system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power
from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge
sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan
blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post(-)of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could
result in personal injury.
