Buick Enclave: Power Outlets
The vehicle has 12-volt outlets that can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The power outlets are located on the instrument panel below the climate controls, inside the center floor console, at the rear of the center console, and in the rear cargo area. Lift the cover to access the outlet and replace when not in use.
WARNING
Power is always supplied to the outlets. Do not leave electrical equipment plugged
in when the vehicle is not in use because the vehicle could catch fire and cause
injury or death.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in for an extended period of time while the vehicle is off will drain the battery. Always unplug electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating
Certain accessory plugs may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could overload vehicle and adapter fuses. If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. See Add-On Electrical Equipment .
Notice: Hanging heavy equipment from the power outlet can cause damage not covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only, such as cell phone charge cords.
Power Outlet 110 Volt Alternative Current
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 turns on to show it is 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 equipment is connected using more than 150 watts or a system fault is detected, 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 Retained Accessory Power (RAP) off and then back on. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) . The power restarts when equipment using 150 watts or less is plugged into the outlet and a system fault is not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for and may not work properly, if the following are plugged in:
► Equipment with high initial peak wattage such as: compressor-driven refrigerators and electric power tools. ► Other equipment requiring an extremely stable power supply such as:microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.
