UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 177 ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS This vehicle has three auxiliary power outlets that can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories designed for use with the standard power outlet adapters. The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument panel has a snap on plastic cap so that it can be covered when not in use. As a safety precaution, the outlet in the instrument panel only operates with the ignition switch ON. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is used, 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. There are two additional 12 V/(20 total Amps for both outlets) power outlets, one located in the storage bin of the center console and another located in the right rear cargo area. These outlets can be reconfigured by the customer to operate only when the ignition is ON (switched battery fed) or with the ignition ON or OFF (battery fed) to allow for cellular telephone charging and or operation while the ignition is off. NOTE: All accessories connected to these outlets should be removed or turned OFF when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge (unless the customer has reconfigured the fuse block to switched battery feed). (See page 179 for more information.) 115V Inverter Outlet - If Equipped This vehicle may also be equipped with a 115 Volt (150 Watts Maximum) outlet on the rear of the front center console. These outlets can power cell phones, electronics and other low power devices. This plug is controlled by a switch located in left lower instrument panel. Press the switch to turn the power on to the outlet. Press the switch a second to turn the power off. 3
