12 Volt DC PowerPoint

WARNING: Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigar lighter socket. Incorrect use of the cigar lighter can cause damage not covered by the vehicle warranty and result in fire or serious injury.

• Note: You can use the socket to power 12-volt appliances with a maximum current rating of 15 amps when you switch the ignition on.
• Note: If the power supply does not work after switching the ignition off, switch the ignition on.
• Note: Do not hang any accessory from the accessory plug.
• Note: Do not use the PowerPoint over the vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or a fuse may blow.
• Note: Always keep the power point caps closed when not in use.

Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the PowerPoint. This damages the PowerPoint and may blow the fuse. Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the PowerPoint.
To prevent the battery from running out of charge:

• Do not use the PowerPoint longer than necessary when the vehicle is not running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when you park your vehicle for extended periods.

Locations

Power points could be in the following locations:

• On the instrument panel.
• Inside the glove box.
• Behind the driver’s seat, upper trim panel.

110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)

• WARNING: Do not keep electrical devices plugged into the power outlet whenever the device is not in use. The outlet provides power when the vehicle is on. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
• WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or connect multiple devices to the power outlet. Doing so could result in overloading the power outlet. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, personal injury or property damage.

Note: The PowerPoint turns off when you switch the ignition off, or when the battery voltage drops below 11 volts.
You can use PowerPoint for electric devices that require up to 150 watts. It is on the instrument panel.

To gain access to the outlet contacts, press the plug against the outlet and rotate clockwise.
When the indicator light on the power point is:

• On: The PowerPoint is working, the ignition is on and a device is plugged in.
• Off: The PowerPoint is off, the ignition is off or no device is plugged in.
• Flashing: The power point is in fault mode.

The power outlet temporarily turns off power when in fault mode if the device exceeds the 150 watt limit. Unplug your device and switch the ignition off. Switch the ignition back on, but do not plug your device back in. Let the system cool off and switch the ignition off to reset the fault mode. Switch the ignition back on and make sure the indicator light remains on.
Do not use the PowerPoint for certain electric devices, including:

• Cathode-ray, tube-type televisions.
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners, electric saws and other electric power tools or compressor-driven refrigerators.
• Measuring devices, which process precise data, such as medical equipment or measuring equipment.
• Other appliances require an extremely stable power supply such as microcomputer-controlled electric blankets or touch-sensor lamps.
