Accessory power outlets can be used to connect auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone or CB radio.
There are two accessory power outlets, located on the center console below the climate controls. If the vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS), one accessory power outlet is in the center storage console and the other is on the center console below the climate controls.
To use an outlet, remove the protective cap. When not in use, always cover the outlet with the protective cap. The accessory power outlet is operational at all times.
Notice: If electrical devices are left plugged into a power outlet, the battery may drain causing the vehicle not to start or damage to the battery. This would not be covered by the warranty. Always unplug all electrical devices when turning off the vehicle.
Certain electrical accessories are not compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer/retailer for additional information on the accessory power outlet.
Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the vehicle can damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by the warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only.
