Power Inverter Switch (If Equipped)
Exterior Truck Bed Power Inverter (If Equipped)

NOTE:400 W is the maximum for the inverter, not each
outlet. If two outlets are in use, 400 W is shared
among the devices plugged in. The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of 400 W is
exceeded, the power inverter automatically shuts
down. Once the electrical device has been
removed from the outlet, the inverter should
automatically reset.
NOTE:
The Power Inverter will only turn on if the ignition
is in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
Due to built-in overload protection, the power
inverter will turn off if the power rating is
exceeded.
AUXILIARY SWITCHES — IF EQUIPPED
Four auxiliary switches are located in the lower
switch bank of the instrument panel and can be
used to power various electrical devices.The functionality of the auxiliary switches can be
changed via the Uconnect Settings. All switches
can be configured for setting the switch type
operation to latching or momentary, power source
of either battery or ignition, and ability to hold last
state across key cycles.

Auxiliary Switches

NOTE:Holding last state conditions are met when switch
type is set to latching and power source is set to
ignition within Uconnect Settings Ú page 215.
The auxiliary switches manage the relays that
power four blunt cut wires. These wires are located
under the instrument panel in the passenger
compartment and under the hood to the right, near
the battery.
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.
