WHAT IS THE POWER OUTLET

The power outlet can power devices that
require up to the rating on the outlet cover.

Note:

The total power delivered is divided

if more than one outlet is used.

POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS

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 120 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due
to powering multiple devices that can
reach beyond the 400 watt load limit
and could result in fire or serious injury.

POWER OUTLET LIMITATIONS

Devices may exceed the power rating
shown the device label when plugged in.
Unplug the device and switch the ignition
on and off to reset the system.

You should not use the power outlet for
these types of electric devices:
•

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.

LOCATING THE POWER
OUTLET

The power outlet is on the instrument
panel or the rear of the center console.

E353449

POWER OUTLET INDICATORS

The power outlet indicator illuminates to
let you know the status of the system.

Description

Indicator Status

The power point is

working, the ignition

is on, or the vehicle

is in accessory

mode.

Flashing

Note:

Due to different technologies used

on its construction, some devices may
exceed the capacity shown on its label
when they are initially plugged in.

182

Power Outlet - Vehicles With: 120V Power Outlet

Note:

The power outlet temporarily turns

off power when in fault mode if the device
exceeds the 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.

183

Power Outlet - Vehicles With: 120V Power Outlet

WHAT IS THE POWER OUTLET

The power outlet can power devices using
a 12 V outlet adapter.

POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS

When you switch the vehicle on, you can
use the socket to power 12 V appliances
with a maximum current rating of 20 A. Do
not use the power point over the vehicle
capacity of 12 V DC 240 W or a fuse could
blow. Do not plug in any device that
supplies power to the vehicle through the
power points. This could result in damage
to vehicle systems. Do not hang any
accessory from the accessory plug. Always
keep the power point caps closed when
not in use. Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.

To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
•

Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is off.

•

Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.

LOCATING THE POWER
OUTLET

Power outlets are in the following
locations:
•

On the instrument panel.

•

Inside the center console.

•

On the rear of the center console.

STARTING AND STOPPING
THE ENGINE – PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start
the engine. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Do not use starting

fluid, for example ether, in the air intake
system. Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the
engine and possible personal injury.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

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

If you stop your vehicle and leave the
engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the
following:
•

Open the windows at least 1 in
(2.5 cm).

•

Set your climate control to outside air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(IF

EQUIPPED)

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.

We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

194

Starting and Stopping the Engine

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and engine block
heater cord plug connections are free
and clear of water. This could cause an
electric shock or fire.

•

If the engine block heater cord is under
the hood, do not remove the wiring
from its original location. Do not close
the hood on the extension wiring.

•

Park your vehicle in a clean area, clear
of combustible materials.

•

Firmly connect the engine block heater
cord and the extension cord.

•

Check the extension cord for heat
anywhere when the system has been
operating for approximately 30
minutes.

•

Unplug and properly stow the system
before starting and driving your vehicle.
The protective cover seals the
terminals of the engine block heater
cord plug when not in use.

•

Check the engine block heater system
for proper operation before winter.

HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER WORK

The engine block heater warms the engine
coolant. This allows the climate control
system to quickly respond. The equipment
includes a heater element installed in the
engine block and a wire harness. You can
connect the system to a grounded
220-240 volt AC electrical source.

Note:

The engine block heater is most

effective when outdoor temperatures are
below 0°F (-18°C).

USING THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER

Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the engine block heater longer than
three hours does not improve system
performance and unnecessarily uses
electricity.
