Accessory Power Outlets Your vehicle has a 12-volt outlet which can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone, a compact disc player, etc. turn the exterior lamps control off, then on again. If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes. Battery rundown protection will also work if the headlamps are left on. After having been left on for 10 minutes, the headlamps and the parking lamps will flash three times. They will remain on for one more minute before being turned off automatically. Lift the cover to access the outlet. When not using the outlet, make sure the protective cover is in place. The accessory power outlet will only operate while the ignition is ON and for a few minutes after turning the ignition OFF.
