NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn off all the vehicle’s

ries, such as the headlights, fog
lights and air conditioner, when
electrical appliances that consume
in excess of 100W are used contin-
uously for long periods of time.
 To prevent any damage caused by
heat, do not use any electrical ap-
pliances that give off intense heat
such as toasters, in any locations
including the internal or external
trim, seats and deck.
 Do not use any electrical ap-
pliances, which are easily affected
by vibration or heat, inside the ve-
hicle. Vibration while driving, or the
heat of the sun while parking, may
result in damage to those electrical
appliances.
 Keep the lid closed when the power
outlet is not in use. Do not insert

plugs, as this may cause electrical
failure or short circuits.
After inserting a plug, gently close
the power outlet lid. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the plug.
 If any electrical appliances are to
be used while driving, securely fas-
ten both the appliances and their
cables to prevent them from falling
or getting caught any of the power-
train components.

nect too many plugs to the power
outlet.

electrical appliance plug is con-
nected, replace the outlet. Contact
a Toyota dealer for any necessary
replacements.
 If the power outlet gets dirty, turn
the main switch off and use a soft,
clean, drywet cloth to wipe it gent-
ly. Do not use any cleansing materi-
als, such as organic solvents, wax,
or compound cleaners, as these
may damage the power outlet or
cause it to malfunction.Keep the power outlet free from
dust and foreign materials and
clean it regularly.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following electric appliances even if
their power consumption is below the
maximum capacity. These appliances
may not operate properly.

age: cathode− ray tube type televisions,
compressor −driven refrigerators, electric

cise data: medical equipment, measur-
ing instruments, etc.
