immediately after use.
•Only certain power outlets are designed
for use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do
not use any other power outlet for an
accessory lighter. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for additional
information.
•Do not use with accessories that exceed
a 12 volt, 180W (15A) power draw. Do
not use double adapters or more than
one electrical accessory.
