Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off
CAUTION!
•
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to
degrade battery life and/or prevent engine
starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only
use these intermittently and with greater cau-
tion.
•
After the use of high power draw accessories,
or long periods of the vehicle not being started
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle
must be driven a sufficient length of time to
allow the alternator to recharge the vehicle’s
battery.
•
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug.
