! The lighter socket can be used to
accommodate 12V DC electrical
accessories (up to a maximum of 85 W)
designed for use with the standard
“cigarette lighter” plug type. Keep in mind,
however, that connecting accessories to
the lighter socket (for example extensive
connecting and disconnecting, or using
plugs that do not fit properly) can damage
the lighter socket. With the socket
damaged, the lighter may not function
properly any longer.
! The cigarette lighter is not designed for
use with the electric air pump. Use the
power outlet in the second-row footwell for
electric air pump operation.
i If the engine is off and the cigarette lighter
is being used extensively, the vehicle
battery may become discharged.
Power outlets
i You can use the power outlets even if the
ignition is switched off.
An emergency shut-off feature is designed
to prevent the vehicle’s on-board voltage
from dropping below a minimum level. If
the on-board voltage drops to this
minimum level, the power outlets are
automatically switched off, to help
preserve engine starting power.
