● Measuring devices that process precise data
● Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply
■ To prevent the battery from being discharged
Turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accessories, such as the
headlights and air conditioning, when elec trical appliances that consume in
excess of 100W are used continuously for long periods of time.
■ To prevent any damage caused by heat
●Do not use any electrical appliances 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 appliances, which are easily affected by vibration
