● Do not use devices, other than water-
proof devices, in a place where water,
such as rain, is splashed over or where
it is humid.
● Do not use a device that has been or
likely to have been merged in water or
absorbed water within.
● Do not connect a medical device, as
depending on the vehicle condition,
the power supply function may be
temporarily stopped.
■ When the power outlets are used
while the vehicle is parked or stopped
● The power outlets are designed to be
connected to electric devices, such as
lighting devices. Do not use them as a
generator that supplies power to a
house, etc. Also, when they are to be
used on an emergency power supply
device for homes, such as an exclusive
device having connection to an exter-
nal power source, or a device whose
power supply circuit for external
power source is separate from electric
wiring of power companies, consult
with the manufacturer or a retailer of
the device.
● When using a power outlet, make sure
to securely engage the parking brake
and shift the shift position to P. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move, possibly
leading to an accident.
● When using a power outlet, do not
move away from the vehicle.
● Do not perform power supply during
weather when lightning may occur.
Stop supplying power if lightning is
observed during power supply.
● Do not use the power outlets if the
vehicle has a vehicle cover installed.
● Do not use a power outlet when the
vehicle is parked on a slanted place or
a slope. When a power outlet is being
used, do not move the vehicle or cause
it to be inclined.
● Observe the following precautions
when a connected cord is to be
brought outside the vehicle:
• Take due care for not allowing rain to
enter. If the power outlet is wet with
raindrops, dry it before use.
• Prevent the cord from being caught in
the window or door
• Allow slack in a connected cord. Do
not cause it to be extraordinary tense.
• Do not start off the vehicle by mistake.
● Do not refuel or wash the vehicle when
using a power outlet.
● Make sure that the hood is closed.
As the engine will start automatically
depending on the condition of the vehi-
cle, make sure that nothing is left near or
contacting the exhaust pipes.
Also, do not put your head or hands any-
where inside the engine compartment, as
the cooling fan may operate suddenly.
Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie,
scarf, etc.) away from the fan as they may
get caught in a fan.
● Do not stop the vehicle near objects
which burn easily.
If the exhaust system is extremely hot, it
may cause a fire.
● Do not use in places where corrosive
gases or fluids are generated.
