Improper use of the power outlets may cause damage not covered by the vehicle warranty and may cause fire or serious personal injury.

Note: Do not leave any accessory hanging from its outlet.

Note: Do not use the power outlet beyond the vehicle's capacity of 12 V DC 180 W to prevent the fuses from blowing.
