Accessory power socket
In the luggage compartment (if equipped) and on the center
console (if equipped) CAUTION
Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory
power socket. Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such
as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory power socket. Thatcould cause a short circuit. Always put the cap on the accessorypower socket when they are not in use. Use only electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC
and which consume less than 120W. Overloading the accessorypower socket can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapt-ers or more than one electrical appliance. If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too
tight for the accessory power socket, this can result in a poorcontact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit
properly. Use of an electric appliance in the accessory power socket for
a long period of time while the engine is not running can causebattery discharge. Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the
cord on your electrical appliance will not interfere with your shift-ing gears and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If theydo, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.
