102 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Sun Shade — If Equipped

For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a

fixed glass roof, there is a sun shade that can be open or

closed. To open the sun shade, push the tab and move

the shade to a full open position.

Power Outlet

Power is available when the ignition switch is in the

ON/RUN or START position. Insert the cigar lighter or

accessory plug into the outlet for use. To preserve the

heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating

position.

CAUTION!

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS

There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet,

located in the floor console, for added convenience. This

power outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and

other low power devices.

• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts

(13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts (13 Amps)

power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the

system will need to be replaced.

CAUTION! (Continued)

WARNING!

• 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.

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.

• 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 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 inter-

mittently and with great caution.

CUPHOLDERS

CAUTION! (Continued)

For the driver and front passenger, cupholders are

located on the floor console between the front seats.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or

long periods of the vehicle not being started (with

accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be

driven a sufficient length of time to allow the

generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

CIGAR LIGHTER — IF EQUIPPED

This is located on the center console, in front of the cup

holders. To activate the cigar lighter, push and release

the knob. After a few seconds the knob automatically

returns to its initial position, and the cigar lighter is

ready for use.

Front Cupholders

WARNING!

When the cigar lighter is in use it becomes very hot.

To avoid serious injury, handle the cigar lighter

with care. Always check that the cigar lighter has

turned off.
