Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has four accessory power outlets. The power outlets located below the climate control system inside the front storage bin, inside the center floor console, and on the rear of the center floor console are powered while the vehicle is in ON/RUN/START or ACC/ACCESSORY mode, or until the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of turning off the vehicle.
The power outlet located in the rear cargo area is powered at all times.
There is a small cap that must be removed to access the accessory power outlet. When not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in for an extended period of time while the vehicle is off will drain the battery. Power is always supplied to the rear cargo outlet. Always unplug electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. See Add-On Electrical Equipment.
Notice: Hanging heavy equipment from the power outlet can cause damage
not covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only, such as cell
phone charge cords.
