Power Outlets

The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.

There are two under the climate
controls, one inside the center floor
console, one on the rear of the
center floor console and one
accessory power outlet in the rear
cargo area on the passenger side.

Remove the cover to access and
replace when not in use.

The accessory power outlets are
powered, even with the ignition off.
Continuing to use accessory power
outlets while the ignition is in LOCK/
OFF may cause the vehicle's
battery to run down.

WARNING

Power is always supplied to the
outlets. Do not leave electrical
equipment plugged in when the
vehicle is not in use because the
vehicle could catch fire and cause
injury or death.

Notice: Leaving electrical
equipment plugged in for an
extended period of time while
the vehicle is off will drain the
battery. Always unplug electrical
equipment when not in use and
do not plug in equipment that
exceeds the maximum 20 ampere
rating.

Certain accessory plugs may not
be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload
adapter or vehicle fuses. If a
problem is experienced, see your
dealer.

When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included
with the equipment. Do not use
equipment exceeding the
maximum amperage rating of
20 amperes. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment on page 9‑91
.

Notice: Hanging heavy
equipment from the power outlet
can cause damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty. The
power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such
as cell phone charge cords.
