CAUTION!

• Do not exceed the maximum power of

160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is ex-
ceeded 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 dam-
age not covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the

receptacles.

• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may

cause an electric shock and failure.

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 dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from 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 accesso-

ries, 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 alter-
nator 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.

Power Inverter — If Equipped

There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current.

This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles exceed this power limit,
as will most power tools.

The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
automatically shuts down. Once the electri-
cal device has been removed from the outlet,
