Auxiliary Power Points 12 Volt DC Power Point WARNING 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 you use this feature when the engine is not running, then the battery discharges. There may be insufficient power to restart your engine. Note: Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the power point. This damages the outlet and blows 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 discharging: • Do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is not running. • Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is in park (P) for extended periods of time. Locations You may find power points: • On the center console. • Inside the center console storage bin. • On the rear of the center console (12V or 110V AC). • In the rear cargo area. 110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped) WARNING Do not keep electrical devices plugged in the power point whenever the device is not in use. Do not use any extension cord with the 110 volt AC power point, since it will defeat the safety protection design. Doing so may cause the power point to overload due to powering multiple devices that can reach beyond the 150 watt load limit and could result in fire or serious injury. Note: The power point turns off when you switch the ignition off or the battery voltage drops below 11 volts. E143941 You can use the power point for powering electrical devices that require up to 150 watts. The power point is on the rear of the center console. 122 Escape (TM2), enUSA, First Printing
