PRECAUTIONS
When you switch the vehicle on, you can
use the socket to power 12 V appliances
with a maximum current rating of 15 A. Do
not use the power point over the vehicle
capacity of 12 V DC 180 W or a fuse could
blow. Do not plug in any device that
supplies power to the vehicle through the
power points. This could result in damage
to vehicle systems. Do not hang any
accessory from the accessory plug. Always
keep the power point caps closed when
not in use. Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is off.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.
• Using devices for extended periods
may require starting and running the
engine to recharge the battery.
