of the center console. This outlet
can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150
Watts.

indicate the inverter is producing AC power.
• Press the switch again to turn the power inverter off. The indicator light will turn off.
NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If
the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will
automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from
the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating
exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset
manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in
again. 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 use a three-prong adaptor.
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.

24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license platenumber.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know.
With your consent, we will contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly,when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE,
ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE
SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER INFLATION,
THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE
THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
97

• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should havethe battery and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other boostersource with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the
battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in adischarged battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting
because the battery could rupture or explode and cause personal
injury. Battery temperature must be brought above freezing point
before attempting a jump-start.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely
injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)of the discharged
battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.
