Chevrolet Spark Owners Manual: Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has an accessory power outlet in front of the cupholders on the center stack.
Open the cover to access 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.
Caution
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 amp rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could overload vehicle or 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 on page 9-39.
Caution
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.
