vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical equipment.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlets and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience
a problem, see your dealer for additional information on
the accessory power plugs.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not

console near the cupholders. Press on the access door
to open it and use the ashtray and lighter.

heating will not allow the lighter to back away from
