NOTE:

When the lower storage compartment is accessed,

it allows the armrest to flip forward for “fold flat mode”.
Fold flat mode allows the console armrest to be lowered
below the fold flat seat plane and protect the armrest vinyl
from damage when using the vehicle to haul cargo.

Open storage areas, or cubby bins with removable liners,
are located rearward of the cupholders and in the lower

Electrical Power Outlets

Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlets that can be used to power cellular phones, small
electronics and other low powered electrical accessories.
The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a
“battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered.
Power outlets labeled with a “key” are powered when the
ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position, while the
outlets labeled with a “battery” are connected directly to
the battery and powered at all times.

NOTE:
• All accessories connected to the “battery” powered

outlets should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.

• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13

Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating
is exceeded the fuse protecting the system needs 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.

The front power outlet is located inside the storage area on
the center stack of the instrument panel.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet

should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.

• Do not touch with wet hands.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the

vehicle.

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric

shock and failure.

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 suffi-
ciently 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 accessories, or long

periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.

Power Inverter — If Equipped

There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet located on the
back of the center console to convert DC current to AC
current. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics
and other low power devices requiring power up to 150
Watts. Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.

The power inverter is designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter automatically shuts down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the outlet the inverter
should automatically reset. To avoid overloading the cir-
cuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to
using the inverter.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.

• Do not touch with wet hands.

• Close the lid when not in use.

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric

shock and failure.

the storage of a pair of sunglasses. The storage compart-
ment access is a “push/push” design. Push the chrome pad

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The crossbars and side rails are designed to carry weight
on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must
not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and should be uniformly
distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.

The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered stowed within
the roof rack side rails. Crossbars should always be used
whenever cargo is placed on the roof rack. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains securely at-
tached.

capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside
the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed
the maximum vehicle load capacity.

Deploying The Crossbars

1. Starting with one crossbar, completely loosen the thumb

screws at both ends of the crossbar.

NOTE:

The thumb screws cannot be fully removed.

2. Remove the crossbar from the stowed position by slid-

ing the crossbar towards the center of the roof. Repeat
with crossbar on the opposite side.
