The 12 Volt socket works only when the ignition is switched on.
If the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the vehicle battery
will be drained by any device that is plugged in and turned on. For
this reason, never use the electrical sockets unless the engine is
running.
To help prevent damage from voltage fluctuations, switch off all
electrical devices connected to a 12 Volt socket before switching
the ignition on or off or starting the engine.
