Accessory power outlets are provided in the center
console and in the cargo area.
Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap at
thesocketwhentheigniti
on switch is either in the
“ACC” or “ON” position.
You can use an in-car use electrical appliance by con-
necting it to the socket.
When both outlets are used at the same time, the total
power consumption of the electric appliances must be
120W or less.
Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory power outlet.
Do not place any foreign objects, especially
metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into
the accessory power outlet. That could cause a
short circuit. Always put the cap on the acces-
sory power outlet when it is not in use. Use only electrical appliances which are de-
signed for 12V DC and which consume less
than 120W. Overloading the accessory power
outlet can cause a short circuit. Do not use dou-
ble adapters or more than one electrical appli-
ance. If the plug on your electric appliance is either
too loose or too tight for the accessory power
outlet, this can result in a poor contact or cause
the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit
properly. Use of an electric appliance in the accessory
power outlet for a long period of time while the
engine is not running can cause battery dis-
charge. Before driving your vehicle, make sure that
the plug and the cord on your electrical appli-
ance will not interfere with your shifting gears
and operating the accelerator and brake pedals.
If they do, do not use the electrical appliance
