HEATED AND VENTILATED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
Heated Seats
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
The heated seats will only function when the engine is running.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
To operate the heated seats:
Press the heated seat symbol to cycle through the various
heat settings and off. Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.
If the engine falls below 350 RPM while the heated seats are on, the
feature will turn itself off. You will need to be reactivate it.

AUXILIARY POWER POINTS
WARNING:Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the
cigarette lighter socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter
can cause damage not covered by your warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury.
Note:If used when the engine is not running, the battery will discharge.
There may be insufficient power to restart your engine.
Note:Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the power
point. This will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note:Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over the vehicle capacity of 12 volt
DC 180 watts or a fuse may blow.
Note:Do not use the power point for operating a cigarette lighter
element.
Note:Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
Note:Always keep the power point caps closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the power point. To prevent the
battery from being discharged:
•Do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running.
•Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is
parked for extended periods.
Locations

110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING:Do not keep electrical devices plugged in the power
point whenever the device is not in use. Do not use any
extension cord with the 110 volt AC power point, since it will defeat
the safety protection design. Doing so my cause the power point to
overload due to powering multiple devices that can reach beyond the
150 watt load limit and could result in fire or serious injury.
Note:The cap should always be closed whenever the power point outlet
is not in use.
Note:Keep the engine running to use the power point.
The 110 volt AC power point outlet is used for powering electrical
devices that require up to 150 watts. Exceeding the 150 watt limit will
cause the power point to cut off the power temporarily to provide
overload protection.
The power point is located on the
back of the center console (inside
the second row center console on
vehicles equipped with that
feature).
The power point is not designed for the following electric appliances;
they may not work properly:
•Cathode ray tube type televisions
•Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners, electric saws and other electric
power tools, compressor-driven refrigerators, etc.
•Measuring devices, which process precise data, such as medical
equipment, measuring equipment, etc.
•Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.
The power point can switch to a fault mode when it is overloaded,
overheated, or shorted. Unplug your device and turn the ignition off then
on for overloading and shorting conditions. Let the system cool off, then
turn the ignition off then on for an overheating condition.

The power point can provide power whenever the ignition is on and the
indicator light is on. The indicator light is located in the top left corner
of the power point.

•on — power point is ready to supply power
•off — power point power supply is off; ignition is not on
•blinking — power point is in fault mode
USB Charging Power Point (If Equipped)
Note:The USB power point is for charging only and works with most
devices.
