• Some electronic devices can cause
electronic interference when plug‐
ged into a vehicle’s power outlet.
These devices may cause exces‐
sive audio static and malfunctions
in other electronic systems or de‐
vices used in your vehicle.
• Refrain from using the heater or
A/C if you need to use the multi‐
purpose socket. If the heater or
A/C has to be used simultaneously,
have it to the lowest setting.

ference. This will lead to subse‐
quent malfunction or hinder good
reception of the Audio/Video and

add-ons are fully plugged into the
multipurpose sockets. Insecure
contacts may lead to electrical
malfunctions.
