The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet can provide
power for in-cab accessories designed for use with the stan -
dard “cigar lighter” plug. The 12 Volt power outlets and 5
Volt (2.5 Amp) USB Port (Charge Only) have a cap attached
to the outlet indicating “12V DC,” together with either a key
symbol, battery symbol, or USB symbol.
A key symbol indicates that the key must be in the ON/RUN
or ACC positions for the outlet to provide power. The battery
symbol indicates that the outlet is connected to the battery,
and can provide power at all times.
CAUTION!

• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts (13 Amps) power rating is
exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be
replaced.

• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlets 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 Limited Warranty.

An auxiliary power outlet can be found in the tray on top of
the center stack. This power outlet only works when the

Power Inverter — If Equipped
If equipped, a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter may
be located inside the center console towards the right hand
side, just under the Wireless Charging Pad (if equipped).
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics andother low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.
Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.
Center Console Power Inverter Outlet
There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) power
inverter located on the rear of the center console. This
inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain
high-end video game consoles exceed this power limit, as
will most power tools.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged in 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.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will discharge the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accesso -
ries still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a suffi -
cient length of time to allow the generator to recharge
the vehicle's battery.

All power inverters are designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 400 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet the inverter should reset.Rear Center Console Power Inverter Outlet
NOTE:
400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not each outlet. If
three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared amongst the
devices plugged in. If equipped, a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter may
be located inside the ram box of your vehicle. The inverter
can be turned on by the Instrument Panel Power Inverter
switch located to the left of the steering wheel. This inverter
can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles exceed this power limit, as will most
power tools.

If equipped, there may be a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum)
inverter located to the right of the center stack, just below the
climate controls. This inverter can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power devices requiring power up
to 400 Watts. Certain high-end video game consoles exceed
this power limit, as will most power tools. Center Stack Power Inverter
To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in the device. The
outlet turns off when the device is unplugged.
NOTE:
• The Power Inverter only turns on if the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
• Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter shuts down if the power rating is exceeded.
