This power outlet only works when the ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC position. The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet can provide power for in-cab accessories designed for use with the standard “cigarette lighter” style plug. The 12 Volt power outlets and 5 Volt (2.5 Amp) USB Port (Charge Only) have a cap attached to the outlet indicating “12V DC”, together with either a key symbol, battery symbol, or USB symbol. A key symbol indicates that the ignition must be in the ON/RUN or ACC positions for the outlet to provide power.

The battery symbol indicates that the outlet is connected to the battery, and can provide power at all times.
