available at any of the outlets when the
ignition switch is in either the “ACC ”or
“ ON ”position.
You can use an in-car electrical appliance
by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appli-
ance that can be connected varies among
outlets as shown in the following. Do not
use an appliance which exceeds the
indicated wattage for each outlet.
Outlet beside front pocket: 80W or less
Outlets in center console and cargo area:
120W or less
When using appliances connected to two or more outlets simultaneously, the total
power consumed by them must not
exceed 120W.

accessory power outlet for a long
period of time while the engine is
not running can cause batterydischarge.
. Before driving your vehicle, make
