Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use

of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.

Note: If used when the vehicle is not
running, the battery will discharge. There
may be insufficient power to restart your
vehicle.

accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.

accessory bracket from the plug.

Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.

Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.

Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.

Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.

power point. To prevent the battery from
discharging accidentally:

110 Volt AC Power Point

(If Equipped)

WARNING

Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use

any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Doing so my cause the
power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond
the 150 watt load limit and could result in
fire or serious injury.

Note: Keep the vehicle running to use the
power point.

E143941

You can use the power point for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts. It is on the rear of the center

Auxiliary Power Points

The power point temporarily turns off
power if it exceeds the 150 watt limit. It can
also switch to a fault mode if it detects
overloading, overheating, or shorting
conditions. For overloading and shorting
conditions, unplug your device and switch
the ignition off then on. For an overheating
condition, let the system cool off first.
Switch the ignition off then on.

Do not use the power point for certain
electric devices, including:

•

Cathode ray tube type televisions

•

Motor loads, for example vacuum
cleaners, electric saws and other
electric power tools, or
compressor-driven refrigerators

•

Measuring devices which process
precise data, for example medical
equipment or measuring equipment

•

Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply, for
example microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets or touch sensor lamps

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS

Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and

exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or
other damage.

Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground
cover. The emission system heats up

the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always

open the garage door before you start the
engine.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer

immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This
is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.
