● After inserting a plug, gently close the power outlet lid.
■ To prevent the fuse from being blown
Do not use a 115V AC appliance that requires more than 100W.
If a 115V AC appliance that consumes more than 100W is used, the protec-

■ To prevent the battery from being discharged
Turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accessories, such as the
headlights and air conditioning, when elec trical appliances that consume in
excess of 100W are used continuously for long periods of time.
■ To prevent any damage caused by heat
