FORD 2013 C-MAX Hybrid v.3 - Manual (Page 173)

110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING: Do not keep electrical devices plugged in the power
point whenever the device is not in use. Do not use any
extension cord with the 110 volt AC power point, since it will defeat
the safety protection design. Doing so my cause the power point to
overload due to powering multiple devices that can reach beyond the
150 watt load limit and could result in fire or serious injury.
Note: The power point will turn off when the ignition is switched off or
the battery voltage drops below 11 volts.
The power point is used for powering
electrical devices that require up to
150 watts. It is located on the rear of
the center console.
When the indicator light, located on the power point, is:
• on — power point is working, ignition is on and a device is plugged in.
• off — power point is off, ignition is off or no device is plugged in.
• blinking — power point is in fault mode
The power point temporarily turns off power if the 150 watt limit is
exceeded. It can also switch to a fault mode when it is overloaded,
overheated, or shorted. Unplug your device and turn the ignition off then
on for overloading and shorting conditions. Let the system cool off, then
turn the ignition off then on for an overheating condition.
The power point is not designed for electric devices such as:
• Cathode ray tube type televisions
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners, electric saws and other electric
power tools, compressor-driven refrigerators, etc.
• Measuring devices, which process precise data, such as medical
equipment, measuring equipment, etc.
• Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.
