Power Outlet: Description

2004 Toyota Matrix XR, FWD, StandardSECTION Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This vehicle is equipped with four electrical power outlets. Two are located in the instrument panel center stack, one in the rear of the center console and one in the left quarter trim panel behind the rear seats.

One instrument panel and the center console outlet are battery powered - on at all times. The other outlets receive power only when the ignition is ON. The ignition powered instrument panel outlet will accept a cigar lighter element.

The operator can choose to make the ignition powered left rear quarter panel outlet battery powered by repositioning a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM).

All outlets include tethered caps with ISO "battery" or "key" icons indicating whether they are battery or ignition powered.
