12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING: Do not plug optional
electrical accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar lighter
can cause damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty, and can result in fire or
serious injury.
Note:When you switch the ignition on, you
can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.
Note:If the power supply does not work after
you switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.
Note:Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note:Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.Do not insert objects other than an accessory
plug into the power point. This damages the
power point and may blow the fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
