POWER OUTLETS
The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets can provide power for in-cab accesso-
ries designed for use with the standard “cigar lighter” plug. The 12 Volt power outlets
have a cap attached to the outlet indicating “12V DC”, together with either a key
symbol or a battery symbol.
The auxiliary power outlets can be found in the following locations:
• Lower left and lower right in the center of the instrument panel – if equipped witha column or a eight-speed electronic shifter.
• Inside the top storage tray.
• Inside the upper lid of the center stor- age compartment — if equipped.
•
Rear of the center console storage com-
partment — Quad Cab®or Crew Cab.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts.
If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating
is exceeded, the fuse protecting the
system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for acces- sory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet as this will
damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.

CAUTION!
•When installing the power distribution center cover, it is important to ensure the
cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to
get into the power distribution center and possibly result in an electrical system
failure.
•When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result
in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to
blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
