The lighter socket can be used to accommo-
date 12V DC electrical accessories (up to a max-
imum of 85 W) designed for use with the 
standard “cigarette lighter” plug type. Keep in 
mind, however, that connecting accessories to 
the lighter socket (for example extensive con-
necting and disconnecting, or using plugs that do 
not fit properly) can damage the lighter socket. 
With the socket damaged, the lighter may no 
longer be able to be placed in the heating 
(pushed-in) position, or the lighter may pop out 
too early with the lighter not hot enough.
To help avoid damaging the cigarette lighter 
socket, we recommend connecting 12V DC elec-
trical accessories designed for use with a stan-
dard “cigarette lighter” plug type to the 12V 
power outlets (
page 458) in your vehicle 
whenever possible.
