Electrical Power Outlets

There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet located in the Integrated Center Stack (ICS) for added convenience. This power outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and other low power devices.

Power is available when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC 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.

NOTE: To ensure proper operation a MOPAR knob and element must be used.

12 Volt Power Outlet

CAUTION!

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 will need 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.

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.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.

Power Outlet Fuse Location

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 great 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

A 115 Volt (150 Watt) AC power inverter is located on the front of the center console for added convenience. This outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end video games consoles will 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 will automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To avoid overload- ing the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
