To avoid damaging the power outlet and the plug
●Close the power outlet lid when not in use.
● Foreign objects or liquids that enter the power outlet may cause a short
circuit.
● Do not use plug adaptors to connect too many plugs to the power outlet.
● After inserting a plug, gently close the power outlet lid.
■ To prevent the fuse from being blown
Do not use a 120 VAC appliance that requires more than maximum capacity.
If a 120 VAC appliance that consumes more than maximum capacity is
used, the protection circuit will cut the power supply.

The following 120 VAC appliances may not operate even if their power con-
sumption is under maximum capacity.
●Appliances with high initial peak wattage
● Measuring devices that process precise data
● Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply
■ 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 electrical appliances that consume in
excess of 100W are used continuously for long periods of time.
■ To prevent any damage caused by heat
●Do not use any electrical appliances 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 appliances, which are easily affected by vibration
or heat, inside the vehicle.
