during weather with a possibility
of lightning. If you notice light-
ning while using the power out-
let, stop using it.
●Do not use the p ower outlet if
the vehicle has a vehicle cover
installed.
●Be especially careful when
using an electrical device such
as a heater and sleeping in the
vehicle. The device may stop
unexpectedly due to operations
such as an autom atic stop of
the power supply system.
●Do not use while the vehicle is
stopped on a sl ope or other
slanted location. Do not move or
tilt the vehicle during use.
●Observe the following precau-
tions when using the power out-
let with the cord pulled outside
of the vehicle.
• Be careful of entry of rain or water. If the p ower outlet
becomes wet, dry the outlet

• Prevent the cord from being caught in the window or door
• Provide some slack in the cord and do not pull it too tight
• Make sure not to start the vehi-
cle
●Do not refuel or wash the vehi-
cle during use.
●Make sure that the hood is
closed. As the engine will start

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.

while driving
●Do not use devices such as the
following when driving. Also, do
not use a device if it cannot be
secured within the vehicle.
