left rear trim panel immediately behind the second row left
passenger seat.The outlet in the rear quarter panel near the liftgate and the
upper outlet in the instrument panel are both controlled by
the ignition switch. Each of these outlets can support 160
Watts (13 Amps). Do not exceed 160 Watts (13 Amps) for
each of these outlets.
The power outlets include tethered caps, labeled with a key
or battery symbol indicating the power source. The power
outlet, located on the lower instrument panel, is powered

Power Inverter — If Equipped
A 115 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet converts DC current to
AC current, and is located on the left rear trim panel
immediately behind the second row left passenger seat.
The power inverter switch is located on the instrument
panel below the climate controls.
To turn on the power outlet, push the switch once. Push the
switch a second time to turn the power outlet off.This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics 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.
The power inverter is designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet, the inverter should auto-
matically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately
170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manu-
ally. To reset the inverter manually push the power inverter
button off and on. To avoid overloading the circuit, check
the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the
inverter.
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.Power Inverter Outlet

CAUTION!(Continued)
•Load should always be secured to cross bars first,
with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple-
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps and
thumb wheels frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
• Long loads that extend over the windshield, such as
wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to both the front and
rear of the vehicle.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully
when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

• The gauge shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when
the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
•
The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the
vehicle where the fuel door is located.
5. Temperature Gauge
• The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-
perature. Any reading within the normal range indi-
cates that the engine cooling system is operating
satisfactorily.
• The gauge can indicate a higher temperature when
driving in hot weather or up mountain grades. It
should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the
normal operating range.
WARNING!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reaches “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the
air conditioner turned off until the gauge drops back
into the normal range and is no longer red. If the gauge
remains on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.

under the hood yourself, see “Servicing And Mainte-
nance”.
NOTE: The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check
when the ignition is first cycled.
