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 cau-
tion.

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.
