There maybe two accessory power outlets located near the center of the vehicle on the lower part of the instrument panel. There may also be additional accessory power outlets located behind the front storage area for rear seat passengers. A small cap must be pulled down to access an accessory power outlet. When not using an outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. Notice: When using an accessory power outlet, maximum electrical load must not exceed20 amps. Always turn off any electrical equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain your battery. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer for additional information on accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding some electrical equipment to your vehicle can damage it or keep other things from working as they should. This wouldn't be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment, and never use anything that exceeds the amperage rating. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hangany type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty. Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter Your vehicle may be equipped with an ashtray and cigarette lighter. Pull the front ashtray door down to open it. Notice: Don't put papers or other flammable items into your ashtrays. Hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them, causing a damaging fire. To remove the front ashtray, pull the bin upward. To use the lighter, press it in all the way, and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself. Notice: Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to back away from the heating element when it's ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the lighter and the heating element. 3-18
