INTERNAL EQUIPMENT
Electrical Power Outlets
There are two 12 Volt (13 Amp) auxiliary
power outlets that can provide power for
accessories designed for use with the stan -
dard power outlet adapters.
The front power outlet is located in the
center of the instrument panel below the
climate controls, and is powered from the
ignition switch. Power is available when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. Front Power Outlet
On vehicles equipped with a rear subwoofer,
there is a second power outlet located in the
rear cargo area and is powered directly from
the vehicle battery.
Rear Cargo Power Outlet WARNING!
Driving with the flip-up window open can
allow poisonous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the flip-up
window closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Do not push on rear wiper blade when
closing the rear flip-up window, as damage
to the blade will result.

Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 230 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current.
This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles exceed this power limit,
as will most power tools.
Power Inverter
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
automatically shuts down. Once the elec -
trical device has been removed from the
outlet, the inverter should automatically
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
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.
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlets as this will damage
the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper
use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in
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.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.),
will degrade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle's
battery.
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug. Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage.

reset. If the power rating exceeds approxi-
mately 170 Watts, the power inverter may
have to be reset manually.
Auxiliary Switches — If Equipped
Four auxiliary switches located in the lower
switch bank of the instrument panel can be
used to power various electrical devices. You
have the ability to configure the functionality
of the auxiliary switches via the Uconnect
settings.
All switches can be configured as follows:

Switch type operation: Latching or Momentary

Power source: Battery or Ignition
Ability to hold last state across key cycles:
On or Off Auxiliary Switches
NOTE:
Holding last state conditions are met when
switch type is set to latching and power
source is set to ignition.
For more information, refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in your Owner’s
Manual.
For the connection and installation of your
electrical devices refer to your authorized
dealership.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF
EQUIPPED
NOTE:
Roof rack applications are for Hard Top
models ONLY.
The load carried on the roof, when equipped
with a luggage rack, must not exceed 100 lbs
(45 kg), this includes the weight of the cross -
bars, and it should be uniformly distributed
over the cargo area.
Crossbars should always be used whenever
cargo is placed on the roof rack. Check the
straps frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar parts.
External racks do not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that
the total occupant and luggage load inside
the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage
rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle
load capacity. WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:

Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.

Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.
