NOTICEECB00120●Do not use accessories requiring more than
the above maximum capacity. This may
overload the circuit and cause the fuse to
blow.●If accessories are used without the engine
running or with the headlights turned on, the
battery will lose its charge and engine start-
ing may become difficult.●Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter or
other accessories with a plug that gets hot
because the jack can be damaged.Maximum rated capacity for the auxiliary DC
jack:DC 12 V, 10 A (120 W)
