Dodge 2011 Dakota - Manual (Page 162)

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
This vehicle has two 12 Volt (13 Amp) auxiliary power
outlets that can provide power for accessories designed
for use with standard power outlet adapters. One power
outlet is located in the instrument panel (below the
temperature control setting knob) and one is located
inside the full-size center console. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is used,
it heats when pushed in and pops out automatically
when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do
not hold the lighter in the heating position.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation a MOPAR ௡ knob
and element must be used.
CAUTION!
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts
(13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp)
power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the
system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not insert any other object in the power
outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow the
fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty.
