Power outlets in the center console
Power outlets in the rear cabinAccessory power outlets are provided in
the center console (lower compartment)
and in the rear cabin.
Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery
is available at any of the outlets when the
ignition switch is in either the
“Acc ”or “ON ”
position.
You can use an in-vehicle electrical
appliance by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appli-
ance that can be connected is shown in
the following list. Do not use an appliance
which exceeds the indicated wattage for
each outlet. . The two outlets in the center console:
120W or less (When using appliances
connected to two outlets simultaneously,
the total power consumed by them must
not exceed 120W.) . The two outlets in the rear cabin: 120W
or less (When using appliances con-
nected to two outlets simultaneously, the
total power consumed by them must not
exceed 120W.)
CAUTION
. Do not attempt to use a cigarette
lighter in the accessory power outlets.
. 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. Al-
ways put the cap on the acces-
sory power outlet when it is not
in use.
. Use only electrical appliances
which are designed for 12V DC.
The maximum power rating of an
appliance that can be connected
is shown in the following list. Do
not use an appliance which ex-

Overloading the accessory
power outlet can cause a short
circuit. Do not use dual adapters
or more than one electrical appli- ance.
. If the plug on your electric appli-
ance 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 batterydischarge.
. Before driving your vehicle, make
sure that the plug and the cord
on your electrical appliance will
not interfere with your shifting
gears and operating the accel-
erator and brake pedals. If they
do, do not use the electrical
appliance while driving.
