Accessory power outlets can be used to connect auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone.
There are two accessory power outlets on the instrument panel, one inside the center floor console and one on the rear of the center floor console.
To access the accessory power outlet inside the center floor console, press the button on the side of the console door. See Center Console Storage for more information.
To use an accessory power outlet, remove the protective cap. When not in use, always cover the accessory power outlet with the protective cap.
Notice: If electrical devices are left plugged into a power outlet, the battery may drain causing the vehicle not to start or damage to the battery. This would not be covered by the warranty. Always unplug all electrical devices when turning off the vehicle.
Certain electrical accessories are not compatible with the accessory power outlets and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer/retailer for additional information on accessory power outlets.
The accessory power outlets are powered, even when the ignition is in LOCK/OFF. Continuing to use power outlets while the ignition is in LOCK/OFF may cause the vehicle's battery to run down.
Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the vehicle can damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by the warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only.
