Accessory Power Outlets The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio. Your vehicle has two power outlets located in the rear storage area of the front center console. See Center Console Storage Area on page 2-46 for more information on location. Your vehicle may have a small cap that must be pulled down to access the accessory power outlet. If it does, when not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. The accessory power outlets will only operate while the ignition key is in RUN and for 10 minutes after turning the ignition off. If you would like to operate an accessory for an extended period of time, contact your dealer for more information. Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum amperage rating. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible to 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 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. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only. 3-24
