When the battery’s state of charge
is low, the voltage is raised
slightly to quickly bring the charge
back up. When the state of charge
is high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging.

center console, and in the rear cargo
area. Lift the cover to access the
outlet. Close the cover when
not using the outlet.
Notice:Leaving electrical
equipment plugged in for an
extended period of time while
the vehicle is off will drain
the battery. Power is always
supplied to the outlets. Always
unplug electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the
maximum 20 ampere rating.Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the accessory
power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle and adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced,
see your dealer/retailer for additional
information on the power accessory
outlets.
Notice:Adding any electrical
equipment to the vehicle can
damage it or keep other
components from working as
they should. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle

Power Outlet 115
Volt Alternating Current
For vehicles with this power outlet,
it can be used to plug in electrical
equipment that uses a maximum
limit of 150 watts.The power outlet is located on the
rear of the center console.
An indicator light on the outlet turns

less than 150 watts is plugged
into the outlet, and no system fault
is detected.
The indicator light does not come
on when the ignition is in LOCK/OFF
or if no equipment is plugged into
the outlet.
If equipment is connected using
more than 150 watts or a system
fault is detected, a protection circuit
shuts off the power supply and
the indicator light turns off. To reset
the circuit, unplug the item and
plug it back in or turn the Remote
Accessory Power (RAP) off and then
back on. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-21.
The power restarts when equipment
using 150 watts or less is plugged
into the outlet and a system
fault is not detected.The power outlet is not designed for
the following electrical equipment
and may not work properly if
these items are plugged into the
power outlet:
Equipment with high initial
peak wattage such as:
compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.
