~1min read

The power outlet is designed to supply power to mobile phones or other devices designed to operate with the vehicle's electrical system. The device must consume less than 10 amps with the engine running.
CAUTION
- Use the power outlet only when the engine is running and remove the accessory plug after use. Using an accessory plug for extended periods with the engine off may cause the battery to discharge.
- Use only 12 V electrical accessories with a rating below 10A.
- Adjust the air conditioner or heater to the lowest operating level when using the power outlet.
- Keep the cover closed when the outlet is not in use.
- Some electronic devices may cause electronic interference when connected to the vehicle's power outlet. These devices may cause excessive static noise and malfunctions in other electronic systems or devices used in your vehicle.
- Using electrical products that exceed the limited capacity may cause the outlet and wiring to overheat, which may lead to an electrical failure.
- \• Always check that the plug is fully inserted into the power outlet. Incomplete insertion may cause damage to the electrical wiring.
- Electrical products with a built-in battery may cause current to flow backward, which may lead to failure of the electrical/electronic device in your vehicle. Use only electrical products that include reverse current protection.
WARNING
Do not insert a finger or foreign object (pin, etc.) into the power outlet and do not touch it with a wet hand. You may receive an electric shock.
