Dodge Charger: INTERIOR STORAGE AND EQUIPMENT / Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (15 Amp) power outlets that can be used
to power cellular phones, small electronics and other low powered electrical accessories.
The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate
how the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with a “key” are powered when the
ignition is in the ON or ACC position, while the outlets labeled with a “battery”
are connected directly to the battery and powered at all times.
NOTE:
All accessories connected to the “battery” powered outlets should be removed
or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge.
CAUTION!
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.
The front power outlet is located inside the storage area on the center stack
of the instrument panel.
In addition to the front power outlet, there is also a power outlet located in
the storage area of the center console.
If the Media Hub is in use, do not exceed the maximum power of 100 Watts (8 Amps)
for the center console power outlet. When the Media Hub is not in use, the outlet
can deliver up to 160 Watts (13 Amps). If the power rating is exceeded, the fuse
protecting the system needs to be replaced.
NOTE:
The instrument panel power outlet and dual rear console USB ports can be changed
to “battery” (powered all the times) by moving the #12 20 Amp fuse from “IGN” to
“B+”.

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.
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 sufficiently 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 greater caution.
- After the use of high power draw accesso- ries or long periods of
the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle
must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to recharge
the vehicle's battery.
- Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang any
type of acces- sory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage.
On some vehicles the front and/or rear cupholders are equipped with a light ring
that illuminates the cupholders. The brightness of the light rings are controlled
by the Dimmer Control...
