ELECTRONICS POWER INVERTER • A 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet is located on the lower instrument panel next to the climate control knob. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. • To turn on the power outlet, press the switch once. • Press the switch a second time to turn the power outlet 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 adapter. 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. 52
