ELECTRICAL OUTLET USE WITH ENGINE OFF

CAUTION!

Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power

from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum

cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater
caution.

After the use of high power draw accessories, or long

periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories
still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient
length of time to allow the alternator to recharge the
vehicle’s battery.

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.

SUN SCREENS— IF EQUIPPED

Sun Screens are available for second and third row
seating windows. The screens store in the sill trim panels
and the tops of the windows are equipped with hooks
that the Sun Screen attaches to when pulled out.
