WARNING

  • The plug and socket may become hot during or immediately after use.
  • Do not use accessories that draw more than 12 V, 120 W (10 A).
  • Do not use double adapters or plug more than one electrical accessory into the same socket.
  • Use the power outlets only when the engine is running to avoid discharging the vehicle battery.
  • Avoid using the power outlets when the air conditioner, rear window defroster or headlights are on.
  • Before plugging in or unplugging an electrical accessory, make sure the accessory is in the OFF position.
  • Push the plug in as far as it will go. If the connection is not made properly, the plug may overheat or the internal temperature fuse may blow.
  • Make sure the cap is closed when the outlet is not in use. Do not allow the outlet to come into contact with water or other liquids.
