Accessory Power Outlets Your vehicle may have accessory power outlets. You can plug accessory electrical equipment into an accessory power outlet. Just pull on the outlet cover to remove it and follow the proper installation instructions that are included with any electrical equipment that you install. The accessory power outlets are located on the driver's and passenger's side of the front storage compartment. These circuits are protected by a fuse and have maximum current levels. Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible to the power accessory outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer for additional information on the power accessory plugs. Notice: When using an accessory power outlet, maximum electrical load must not exceed 20 amps. Always turn off any electrical equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain your battery. Notice: 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 not covered by your warranty. Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter Your vehicle may have this feature. The front ashtray can be placed in the instrument panel extension at the center of the instrument panel. Lift up on the ashtray door to open it. Notice: Don't put papers or other flammable items into your ashtrays. Hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them, causing a damaging fire. To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself. Notice: Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to back away from the heating element when it's ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the lighter and the heating element. 3-17
