Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Power Outlet: Notes
Sedans are equipped with two 12-volt electrical outlets. Wagons are equipped with three 12-volt electrical outlets. The outlets are located in the following locations:
- Cargo area right quarter trim panel (wagons only).
- Inside the center console.
- Next to the ash receiver in the center stack.
The outlets in the console and quarter trim panel have power at all times, and include tethered covers. The outlet in the ash receiver tray is shipped with power available only when the ignition is in the ON position. This outlet can be changed to provide power at all times by moving a fuse in the fuse block.
