Power Inverters — If Equipped
There is a 115 V (400 W) maximum inverter outlet located on
the back of the center console to convert Direct Current (DC)
current to Alternating Current (AC).
This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other
low p
ower devices requiring power up to 400 W. Certain
high-end video game consoles exceed this power limit, as
will most power tools.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• D
o not insert any objects into the receptacles.
• Do n
ot touch with wet hands.
• Clos
e the lid when not in use.
• If
this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shoc
k and failure.
CAUTION!
• M
any 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 the engine from
starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacu
um 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 accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with accesso
-
ries still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a suffi-
cient length of time to allow the alternator to recharge
t
he
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.
