The lighter socket can accommodate
12V DC electrical accessories (up to a
maximum of 85 W) designed for use
with the standard “cigarette lighter
plug”. Keep in mind, however, that con-
necting accessories to the lighter sock-
et (for example extensive connecting
and disconnecting, or using plugs that
do not fit properly) can damage the
lighter socket. With the socket dam-
aged, the lighter may no longer be able
to be placed in the heating (pushed-in)
position, or the lighter may pop out too
early with the lighter not hot enough.
