NOTICE
To prevent damage to the Power 
Outlets:
•  Use the power outlet only when the 
engine is running and remove the 
accessory plug after use. Using the 
accessory plug for prolonged periods 
of time with the engine off could 
cause the battery to discharge.
•  Only use 12 volts electric accessories 
which are less than 180 watts 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 electronic 
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 electrical/
electronic devices with reverse 
current protection. The current 
from the battery may flow into the 
vehicle’s electrical/electronic system 
and cause system malfunction.
