126 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off CAUTION! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting. • Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution. • After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's battery. CIGAR LIGHTER AND ASH RECEIVER The covered ash receiver is located in the instrument panel below the climate control knobs. The cigar lighter is located to the right of the ash receiver. As a child safety precaution, the lighter only operates with the ignition switch ON. It heats when pushed in and pops out automatically when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position. Cup Holder Ash Receiver - If Equipped Should your vehicle not come equipped with the instrument panel cigar lighter and ash receiver, an optional ash receiver is available from your authorized dealer and will fit in either one of the center console cup holders.
