The protection circuit may be activated to
cut the power supply if any of the follow-
ing conditions apply:
The engine is started with the power
outlet switch on.
Use of electrical appliances exceeding
the maximum capacity is attempted.
A sound may be heard when the
protection circuit is activated. This is
normal and does not indicate a mal-
function.
Electrical appliances, which consume
power exceeding 100W, have been
used continuously for a long time per-
iod.
The total power usage by all electrical
features (headlights, air conditioning,
etc.) has exceeded the total vehicle
maximum for an extended period of
time.
If the protection circuit is activated and
the power supply is cut, conduct the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe area, and then securely apply the parking brake.
2. Check and ensure the following condi- tions: Automatic transmission models: The
selector lever is in the “P” or “N” posi-
tion.
Manual transmission models: The shift
lever is in the neutral position and the
clutch pedal is not depressed.
3. Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is within the
maximum capacity of the power outlet
and the appliance is not broken.
4. Push the power outlet main switch again.
When the cabin temperature is high, open
the windows to cool the temperature
down. Once it reaches the normal temper-
ature, turn the power outlet main switch
on again.
If the power supply is not resumed even
after performing the above procedure,
have the vehicle inspected by a Toyota
dealer.

NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn off all the vehicle’s
electronic equipment and accesso-
ries, such as the headlights, fog
lights and air conditioner, when
electrical appliances that consume
in excess of 100W are used contin-
uously for long periods of time.
 To prevent any damage caused by
heat, do not use any electrical ap-
pliances that give off intense heat
such as toasters, in any locations
including the internal or external
trim, seats and deck.
 Do not use any electrical ap-
pliances, which are easily affected
by vibration or heat, inside the ve-
hicle. Vibration while driving, or the
heat of the sun while parking, may
result in damage to those electrical
appliances.
 Keep the lid closed when the power
outlet is not in use. Do not insert
any items other than appropriate
plugs, as this may cause electrical
failure or short circuits.
After inserting a plug, gently close
the power outlet lid. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the plug.
 If any electrical appliances are to
be used while driving, securely fas-
ten both the appliances and their
cables to prevent them from falling
or getting caught any of the power-
train components.
 Do not use plug adaptors to con-
nect too many plugs to the power
outlet.
 If the power outlet is loose when an
electrical appliance plug is con-
nected, replace the outlet. Contact
a Toyota dealer for any necessary
replacements.
 If the power outlet gets dirty, turn
the main switch off and use a soft,
clean, drywet cloth to wipe it gent-
ly. Do not use any cleansing materi-
als, such as organic solvents, wax,
or compound cleaners, as these
may damage the power outlet or
cause it to malfunction.Keep the power outlet free from
dust and foreign materials and
clean it regularly.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following electric appliances even if
their power consumption is below the
maximum capacity. These appliances
may not operate properly.
Appliances with high initial peak watt-
age: cathode− ray tube type televisions,
compressor −driven refrigerators, electric
tools, etc.
Measuring devices which process pre-
cise data: medical equipment, measur-
ing instruments, etc.
Other appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply: microcomputer −
controlled electric blankets, touch sen-
sor lamps, etc.
Use of the power outlet may not be
possible if the vehicle battery voltage is
low due to decreased battery capacity.
The integrated timers of electrical ap-
pliances may not function properly
when the power supply is cut by the
protection circuit.
