WARNING
• Take due care for not allowing rain to enter. If the power outlet
is wet with raindrops, dry it
before use.
• Prevent the cord from being caught in the window or door
• Allow slack in a connected cord. Do not cause it to be extraordi-
nary tense.
• Do not start off the vehicle by mistake.
●Do not refuel or wash the vehi-
cle when using a power outlet.
●Make sure that the hood is
closed.
As the engine will start automati-
cally depending on the condition
of the vehicle, make sure that
nothing is left near or contacting
the exhaust pipes.
Also, do not put your head or
hands anywhere inside the
engine compartment, as the cool-
ing fan may operate suddenly.
Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, scarf, etc.) away from
the fan as they may get caught in
a fan.
●Do not stop the vehicle near
objects which burn easily.
If the exhaust system is extremely
hot, it may cause a fire.
●Do not use in places where cor-
rosive gases or fluids are gener-
ated.
●The gasoline engine starts auto-
matically when the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) decreases.
When using a power outlet in an
area with poor ventilation or an
enclosed area, such as a
garage or a place where snow
has piled up, properly use an air
intake and exhaust device to
prevent lack of oxygen and full-
ness of exhaust gas. If such
device cannot be used, do not
use the power outlet.
■Use of a power outlet while
driving
●In situations such as the follow-
ing, do not use an electric
device while driving. Also, do
not use a device if it cannot be
secured within the vehicle.
• When a device is likely to dis- tract the driver and be a hin-
drance to safe driving, such as
a TV, video/DVD player, etc.
• When an inadequately secured device is likely to fall over in
case of sudden braking or an
accident
• When a device is likely to cause fire if it falls or generates heat
• When a device is likely to cause burns, such as a toaster, micro-
wave, electric heater, electric
kettle, coffee maker, etc.
