engine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged peri-
ods of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 10A in electric
capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when

tem and cause system malfunc-
tion.AC inverter (if equipped)
The AC inverter supplies 115V/150W
electric power to operate electric
accessories or equipment.
