Overview 04for button location. A green
indicator light on the button indicates when
the 110 Volt outlet is enabled. 110 Volt
power is supplied to the outlet when it is

power supply is required while driving,
disable the auto-stop feature, see Stop/Start
System 0229.
If equipment is connected using more than
400 watts or a system fault is detected, a
protection circuit shuts off the power supply
and the indicator light will flash.

damaged cover.
The power outlet is not designed for the
following, and may not work properly if
they are plugged in:
.Equipment with high initial peak wattage,
such as compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools
.Other equipment requiring an extremely
stable power supply, such as
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets
and touch sensor lamps
.Medical equipment
