The vehicle may have a power
outlet that can be used to plug in
electrical equipment that uses a
maximum limit of 150 watts.
The power outlet is located on the
rear of the center console.
An indicator light on the outlet
comes on when in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is in
ON/RUN and equipment requiring
less than 150 watts is plugged into
the outlet, and no system fault is
detected.
If you try to connect equipment
using more than 150 watts or a
system fault is detected the
equipment may operate for a short
period and turn itself off.
A protection circuit shuts off the
power supply and the indicator light
turns off. To reset the circuit, unplug
the item and plug it back in or turn
the Remote Accessory Power (RAP)
off and then back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)
on
page 9‑21
. Prolonged usage of the
power outlet at the maximum load of
150 watts, may cause the outlet to
overheat and automatically
shutdown. The power restarts when
equipment that operates within the
limit is plugged into the outlet and a
system fault is not detected.
