Do not plug optional electrical

accessories into the cigar lighter

socket (if equipped). Improper use

of the lighter can cause damage not

covered by your warranty, and can result

in fire or serious injury.

Note:

If used when the engine is not

running, the battery will discharge. There

may be insufficient power to restart your

engine.

Note:

Do not insert objects other than an

accessory plug into the power point. This

will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.

Note:

Do not hang any type of accessory or

accessory bracket from the plug.

Note:

Do not use the power point over the

vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or

a fuse may blow.

Note:

Do not use the power point for

operating a cigar lighter element.

Note:

Improper use of the power point can

cause damage not covered by your

warranty.

Note:

Always keep the power point caps

closed when not in use.

Run the engine for full capacity use of the

power point. To prevent the battery from

being discharged:

•

necessary when the engine is not

running

may cause the power point to exceed the

150 watt load limit and overload, resulting

in fire or serious injury.

Note:

Keep the engine running to use the

power points.
