UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 81 Sunroof Fully Closed Press and hold the switch forward until the sunroof stops completely to ensure that the sunroof is fully closed. ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLET The power outlet is located in the lower center of your instrument panel. If your vehicle is equipped with heated seats, a second power outlet is located inside the center console. All accessories connected to any outlet should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use. CAUTION! Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off • 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 alternator to recharge the vehicle's battery. • Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage. 3
