If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, press OFF and detach the hose
from the inflated object first, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools in
the pouch, and store in the glove box.
Accessory Power Outlets
Accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical
equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc.
There are two front power outlets when the cigarette
lighter is not in use. They are located on the floor
console in the cell phone storage compartment.
There are also two rear power outlets. One is located in
the rear of the floor console below the vents. The other
is located in the rear of the vehicle on the driver's side
behind the access door.Pull the cover down to use an accessory power outlet.
When not in use, always cover the accessory power
outlets with the protective cap.
The accessory power outlets will only operate while the
ignition is on and for 10 minutes after turning the
ignition off. If you would like to operate an accessory
for an extended period of time, see your dealer for
more information.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlets:

Maximum load of any electrical equipment
should not exceed 20 amps.

Be sure to turn off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods can
drain your battery.
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
the accessory power outlets.
