Switch on the ignition (page 39).
Flip up cover and insert electrical plug
(cigarette lighter type).
!The lighter socket can accommodate
12 V DC electrical accessories (up to a maxi-
mum of 180 W) designed for use with the stan-
dard “cigarette lighter” plug type. Keep in mind,
however, that connecting accessories to the
lighter socket (for example extensive connecting
and disconnecting, or using plugs that do not fit
properly) can damage the lighter socket. With
the socket damaged, the lighter may no longer
be able to be placed in the heating (pushed-in)
position, or the lighter may pop out too early with
the lighter not hot enough.
To help avoid damaging the cigarette lighter
socket, we recommend connecting 12 V DC
electrical accessories designed for use with the
standard “cigarette lighter” plug type to the 12 V
power outlets (
page 223) in your vehicle
whenever possible.
iIf the engine is off, and the cigarette lighter
is being used extensively, the vehicle battery
may become discharged.
!If you use all power outlets in the vehicle,
make sure that the maximum current drawn
does not exceed 15 A.
iThe power outlets can be used to
accommodate 12 V DC electrical accessories
(e.g. auxiliary lamps) up to a maximum of 180 W.
If the engine is off, the battery may become
discharged if used for long periods of time.
