Driver Controls The auxiliary power point is located on the instrument panel. On SuperCab and Crew Cab models, another power point is located on the rear of the center console (if equipped). Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if equipped). To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s) over the vehicle capacity of 12 VDC/180W. To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is not running. Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used. Cigar lighter (if equipped) Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter socket. Do not hold the lighter in with your hand while it is heating, this will damage the lighter element and socket. The lighter will be released from its heating position when it is ready to be used. Note: If the power point or cigar lighter socket is not working, a fuse may have blown. Refer to the Fuses and relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter information on checking and replacing fuses. Improper use of the lighter can cause damage not covered by your warranty. 101 2008 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
