The other accessory power outlet is located on the passenger's side of the front storage compartment. To use the outlet, lift the cover. When not using it, always close the cover. Certain power accessory plugs 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 the accessory power plugs.

Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.
