Note:Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the power
point. This will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note:Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug.
Note:Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
Note:Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette
lighter socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter can cause

For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in
mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
•When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of
the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety
Compliance Certification label). Ask an authorized dealer for specific
weight information.
•The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems that are equipped with radio transmitters, for
example, two-way radios, telephones and theft alarms. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulations and should be
installed only by an authorized dealer.
•An authorized dealer needs to install mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if their manufacturer did not design the mobile
communication device specifically for automotive use.
•If you or an authorized Lincoln dealer add any non-Lincoln electrical
or electronic accessories or components to the vehicle, you may
adversely affect battery performance and durability. In addition, you
may adversely affect the performance of other electrical systems in
the vehicle.
