Add-On Electrical Equipment
Warning
The Data Link Connector (DLC) is
used for vehicle service and
Emission Inspection/Maintenance
testing. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp. A device connected
to the DLC - such as an
aftermarket fleet or
driver-behavior tracking device -

systems. This could affect vehicle
operation and cause a crash. Such devices may also access information stored in the vehicle's systems. |
Caution Some electrical equipment can damage the vehicle or cause components to not work and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. |
Add-on equipment can drain the vehicle's 12-volt battery, even if the vehicle is not operating.
