times with 0.5 second of interval. It
indicates that the defogging logic is
canceled or returned to the pro-
grammed status.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, it resets to the defog
logic status.
Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on. This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle,
higher steps operate as follow. For
example if auto defogging does not
defog inside the windshield at step 1
Outside air position, it tries to defog
again at step 2 Operating the air con-
ditioning.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the windshield

Only use 12V electric accessories
which are less than 10A in electric
capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when
plugged into a vehicle’s power out-
let. These devices may cause
excessive audio static and malfunc-
tions in other electronic systems or
devices used in your vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made, the
plug may overheat and the fuse
may open.
Plug in battery equipped electronic devices with reverse current pro-
tection. The current from the bat-
tery may flow into the vehicle’s
electri cal/electronic system and
cause system malfunction.USB charger (if equipped)
The USB charger is designed to
recharge batteries of small size elec-
trical devices using a USB cable. The
electrical devices can be recharged
when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in ACC/ON/START position.
The battery charging state may be
monitored on the electrical device.
Disconnect the USB cable from the
USB port after use.
WARNING - Electric shock
Do not put a finger or a foreign
element (pen, etc.) into a power
outlet and do not touch with a

Some devices are not supportedfor fast charging but will be
charged with normal speed.
Use the USB charger when the engine is running to prevent bat-
tery discharge.
Only devices that fit the USB port can be used.
The USB charger can be used only for battery charging purposes.
Battery chargers cannot be charged.AC inverter (if equipped)
The AC inverter supplies 115V/150W
electric power to operate electric
accessories or equipment.
If you wish to use the AC inverter,
open up the AC inverter cover and
connect a plug to it. The AC inverter
supplies electric power when engine
is running.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Rated voltage : AC 115V

which is greater than 150W (115V).
When the AC inverter input voltage is less than 11.3V, automatically turn off
the power.
AC inverter will operate as normal
when the voltage is increased.
When the AC inverter input voltage is less than 10.7V, power will turn
off. The AC inverter will operate as
normal when the voltage is
increased. While the power consumption of
some electrical devices/appliances
may be within the AC inverter’s
electric power range, it may mal-
function in below cases.
- If the device/appliance requireshigh electric power for initial start
up
- If the device/appliance processes precise/very accurate data
- If the device/appliance requires very stable supply of electricityWireless smart phone charg-
