NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the power outlet and the plug
● Close the power outlet lid when not in use.
● Do not allow foreign objects or liquids to enter the power outl et, as this
may cause a short circuit.
● Do not use plug adaptors to connect too many plugs to the power outlet.
● After removing a plug, gently close the power outlet lid.
■ To prevent the fuse from being blown
Do not use a 120 V AC appliance that requires more than the maximum
capacity of the power outlet. If a 120 V AC appliance that cons umes more
than the maximum capacity is used, the protection circuit will cut the power
supply.
■ Appliances that may not op erate properly (120 V AC)
The following 120 V AC appliances may not operate even if their power con-
sumption is under maximum capacity.
● Appliances with high initial peak wattage
● Measuring devices that process precise data.
● Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply
■ To prevent battery discharge
Turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accessories , such as the
headlights and air conditioning, when electrical appliances tha t consume in
excess of 100 W 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 t rim, seats and
deck.
● Do not use any electrical appliances that are easily affected b y vibration or
heat inside the vehicle. Vibration while driving, or the heat o f the sun while
parking, may result in damage to those electrical appliances.
■ If any electrical appliances are to be used while driving
Securely fasten both the appliances and their cables to prevent them from
falling or getting caught in any of the power train components.
■ If the power outlet is loose when an electrical appliance plug is con-
nected
Replace the outlet. Contact your Toyota dealer for any necessary replace-
ments.
■ If the power outlet gets dirty
Turn the main switch off and use a soft, clean cloth to wipe it gently. Do not
use any cleansing materials, such as organic solvents, wax, or compound
cleaners, as these may damage the power outlet or cause it to m alfunction.
