AUXILIARY POWER POINTS (12VDC)

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert

any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the

outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or

accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power

outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:

• On the front of the center console

• Inside the utility compartment

• On the rear of the console, accessible from the rear seats

Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if

equipped).

To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s)

over the vehicle capacity of 12 VDC/180W. If the power point or cigar

lighter socket is not working, a fuse may have blown. Refer to Fuses and

relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter for information on

checking and replacing fuses.

To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to

be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent

the battery from being discharged:

• do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is

not running,

• do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and

other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for

extended periods.

Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.

POWER WINDOWS

WARNING: Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and

do not let children play with the power windows. They may

seriously injure themselves.

WARNING: When closing the power windows, you should verify

they are free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or

pets are not in the proximity of the window openings.

Press and pull the window switches

to open and close windows.

• Press down (to the first detent)

and hold the switch to open.

• Pull up (to the first detent) and

hold the switch to close.

Rear Window Buffeting: When one or both of the rear windows are

open, the vehicle may demonstrate a wind throb or buffeting noise. This

noise can be alleviated by lowering a front window approximately two to

three inches.

One-touch up or down (Driver’s window only) (if equipped)

This feature allows the driver’s window to open or close fully without

holding the control down.
