replace the power outlet. For
information on replacement,
contact your Toyota dealer.
■Using the power outlets while

Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, possibl y resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Make sure to engage the park-
ing brake and shift the shift lever
to P.
●Do not leave the vehicle unat-

condition of the vehicle, make
sure that nothing is left near or
contacting the ex haust pipes.
Also, do not put your head or
hands anywhere inside the
engine compartment, as the
cooling fan may operate sud-
denly. Keep hands and clothing
(especially a tie, scarf, etc.)

get caught in a fan.
●Do not use the power outlets in
an area with poor ventilation or
an enclosed area, such as a
garage without a ventilation or
exhaust system, o r in an area
where the vehicle may become
surrounded by snow, as the
exhaust gasses may accumu-
late, causing a lack of oxygen.
●Do not use the power outlets if
the vehicle has a vehicle cover
installed.
●Do not sleep in the vehicle while
using devices such as an elec-
tric heater.
■Devices to be connected
Make sure to read a ny instruction
manual which came with a device
and observe any warnings on the
device. Do not connect a device
to a power outlet if the device is
malfunctioning or its plug is dam-
aged.
Do not use power outlets for med-
ical devices, as the output of the
power outlet may be cut, depend-
ing on the condition of the vehicle.

power outlets no t operating cor-
rectly or damage to the vehicle or
a connected device.
■To avoid short circuit or mal-
function
●Do not set a dev ice which gen-
erates heat near the interior
components or on a seat. Heat
