Power Outlets
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets; one is below the
climate control system and the other
is inside the center console storage.
They can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a cell
phone or an MP3 player.
The accessory power outlets do not
work when the key is removed from
the ignition and the driver door is
opened. This helps to preserve the
battery life of the vehicle. Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload vehicle and adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see
your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. See
Add-On
Electrical Equipment on page 9-62.
{Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from
the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. The power
outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such
as cell phone charge cords.
