to degrad e battery life and/or preven t engin e startin g.
The passenger side and center console outlets are pro-
tected by an autom atic reset circuit breaker. The auto-
matic circuit breaker restores power when the overload is
rem oved .
• Accessories that draw high er power
(i.e. coolers,
vacu um clean ers, ligh ts, etc.), will degrad e the battery
even more quickly. Only use these interm itten tly and
with greater caution .
NOTE: If desired , the fourth power outlet in the rear
cargo area can be converted by you r authorized dealer to
provid e power with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
