ELECTRONICS POWER INVERTER • There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of the center console. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. • Press the switch located in the switch bank on the lower instrument panel to turn the power to the outlet on. • Press the switch again to turn the power off. The status indicator of the AC power inverter indicates whether the inverter is producing AC power. NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter. WARNING! To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure. POWER OUTLET • The two front power outlets are located on the instrument panel below the Climate Controls. The right side outlet is powered only when the key is in the ON position. The left side outlet is powered directly from the battery and will receive power whether the ignition is in the ON or LOCK position. All accessories connected to the left outlet should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge. • The rear power outlet is located in the left rear cargo area and will receive power whether the ignition is in the ON or LOCK position. All accessories connected to the rear outlet should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge. 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. 35
