automatically turn off after 10 minutes, if the ignition is
off. The lamps will not come back on again until one of
the following occurs:

.

The ignition is turned on.

.

The exterior lamps control is turned off, then on
again.

The headlamps will timeout after 10 minutes, if they are
manually turned on with the ignition on or off.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)

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

If the vehicle has a center console, the power outlet is
located inside the lower storage area. Some vehicles
may have an outlet on the right front lower part of the
driver's seat and under the climate control system
next to the ashtray. See Center Console Storage on
page 3‑54
.

There are two accessory power outlets in the rear seat
area located on the door armrests next to the ashtrays.

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

The accessory power outlet can be used at any time.

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.

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
