182 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) • Do not touch with wet hands. • Close the lid when not in use. • If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure. CAUTION! (Continued) • Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with great caution. • After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's battery. CAUTION! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting. (Continued)
