WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
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 degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear
axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of
the vehicle to sway.
• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of
the seatback. This could impair visibility or be-
come a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or
accident.
Rear Cargo Lights
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear cargo light that
can be set to three different positions (On/Left Position,
Auto/Center Position, On/Right Position). Using the
interior light lens, push the lens to the right or left from
its center position and the light is turned on. Leave the
lens in the center position, and the light is turned on and
off when the doors are opened or closed. The light above the sliding door or above the second row
seats depending on model can be set to three different
positions (Off/Left Position, Auto/Center Position, On/
Right Position). Using the interior light lens, push the
lens to the right from its center position and the light is
turned on. Push the lens to the left and the light is turned
off. Leave the lens in the center position, and the light is
turned on and off when the doors are opened or closed.
