ELECTRONICS POWER INVERTER • There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the left rear trim panel immediately behind the second row left passenger seat. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. • Press the switch located in the center of the instrument panel to turn the power to the outlet on. • Press the switch again to turn the power off. • The status indicator of the AC power inverter indicates whether the inverter is producing AC power. NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter. WARNING! To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure. POWER OUTLETS • There are four 12 Volt power outlets in your vehicle. • Two are located on the lower instrument panel, next to the open storage bin. The upper power outlet is controlled by the ignition switch and the lower power outlet is connected directly to the battery. • One is located in the removable floor console and is also connected directly to the battery. • One is located in the rear quarter panel near the liftgate. This outlet is also controlled by the ignition switch. NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the system will need to be replaced. 45
