Accessory power outlet
The accessory power outlet is provided in
the center console.
Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery
is available at the outlet when the ignition
switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” posi-
tion.
You can use an in-car use electrical appli-
ance by connecting it to the outlet.

Take care to avoid spills. Bever-
ages, if hot, might burn you or
your passengers. Spilled bever-
ages may also damage uphol-
stery, carpets or audio equipment.

y
Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That
could cause a short circuit. Al-
ways put the cap on the accesso-
ry power outlet when it is not in
use.
y
Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC
and which consume less than
120W. Overloading the accessory
power outlet can cause a short
circuit. Do not use double adapt-
ers or more than one electrical ap-
pliance.
y
If the plug on your electric appli-
ance is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory power out-
let, this can result in a poor con-
tact or cause the plug to get stuck.
Only use plugs that fit properly in
the accessory power outlet.
y
Use of an electric appliance in the
accessory power outlet for a long
period of time while the engine is
not running can cause battery dis-
charge.
