! The lighter socket can be used to
accommodate 12V DC electrical accessories (up
to a maximum 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 con-
necting and disconnecting, or using plugs that do
not fit properly) can damage the lighter socket.
With the socket damaged, 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.
To help avoid damaging the cigarette lighter
socket, we recommend connecting 12V DC elec-
trical accessories designed for use with a stan-
dard “cigarette lighter” plug type to the 12V
power outlets (
୴ page 250) in your vehicle
whenever possible.
!
Make sure no fluids come into contact with
the power outlet, as this could cause a short cir-
cuit.
i Make sure the override switch is not activat-
ed ( ୴ page 87). The power outlet in the rear cen-
ter console will not function if the override
switch is activated.
