2. This device must accept any interference that may be
received including interference that may cause undesired
operation
NOTE:The transmitter has been tested and it complies
with FCC and IC rules. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user 's authority to operate the
device.
The term ªICº before the certification/registration num-
ber only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifi-

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
This vehicle has two 12-Volt auxiliary power outlets that
can provide up to 20-Amps of current for accessories
designed for use with standard power outlet adapters.
The outlets are located in the instrument panel (below the
temperature control setting knob) and inside the full -
size center console. When the optional Cigar Lighterheating element is used, it heats when pushed in and
pops out automatically when ready for use.To preserve
the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the
heating position.
The instrument panel outlet can be reconfigured by the
customer to operate only when the ignition is ON (switch
battery fed) or with the ignition switch ON/OFF (battery
fed) to allow for cellular phone charging and/or opera-
tion while the ignition is OFF. This can be done by
moving the power outlet (switchable) fuse (fuse #22)
from the inboard position to the outboard position.
NOTE:All accessories connected to these outlets should
be removed or turned OFF when the vehicle is not in use,
to protect the battery against discharge (unless the cus-
tomer has reconfigured the fuse block to switched battery
feed).
