See your dealer/ retailer for additional information on accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with it. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.
