Accessory Power Outlet With accessory power outlets you can plug in auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer for additional information on accessory power outlets. NOTICE: Adding some electrical equipment to your vehicle can damage it or keep other things from working as they should. This wouldn't be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment, and never use anything that exceeds the amperage rating. The accessory power outlet is located to the left of the glovebox on the lower side of the instrument panel and behind a flip-out door. NOTICE: When using accessory power outlets be sure to turn off any electrical equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods can drain the battery. 2-54
