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) to Alternating
Current (AC).
This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics
an
d other low power devices requiring power up
to 400 W. Certain high-end video game consoles
exceed this power limit, as will most power tools.

There may also be a second 115 V (400 W)
ma
ximum exterior power inverter located on the
rear right side of the truck bed near the tailgate.
This inverter can be turned on by the Instrument
Panel Power Inverter switch located to the left
of the steering wheel. This inverter can power
cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power up to 400 W.
Certain high-end video game consoles exceed
CAUTION!
 Do not exceed the maximum power of
160 W (13 A) at 12 Volts. If the 160 W
(13 A) power rating is exceeded, the fuse
pr
otecting 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 damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
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 discharge 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
st
arted (with accessories still plugged in),
the vehicle must be driven a sufficient
length of time to allow the alternator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
 Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of acces-
sory or accessory bracket from the plug.
Im
proper use of the power outlet can cause
damage.
