Power Outlet
The power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for 12V accessories or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 180 W
with the vehicle in the ready (
)
mode.
To prevent damage to the Power
Outlets :
• Use the power outlet only when
the vehicle is in the ready
(
)
mode and remove the accessory
plug after use. Using the acces-
sory plug for prolonged periods
of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
• Only use 12V electric acces-
sories which are less than 180 W
in electric capacity.
• Adjust the air-conditioner or
heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power outlet.
• Close the cover when not in use.
• Some electronic devices can
cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle's
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio static
and malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used
in your vehicle.
• Push the plug in as far as it will
go. If good contact is not made,
the plug may overheat and the
fuse may open.
• Plug in battery equipped electri-
cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle's electri-
cal/electronic system and cause
system malfunction.
NOTICE
Avoid electrical shocks. Do not
place your fingers or foreign
objects (pin, etc.) into a power
outlet or touch the power outlet
with a wet hand.
