Auxiliary Power Points You can use the power point for powering electrical devices that require up to 150 watts. It is on the rear of the center console. When the indicator light, located on the power point, is: • on - power point is ready to supply power. • off - power point power supply is off; ignition is not on. • flashing - power point is in fault mode. The power point temporarily turns off power if it exceeds the 150 watt limit. It can also switch to a fault mode if it detects overloading, overheating, or shorting conditions. For overloading and shorting conditions, unplug your device and switch the ignition off then on. For an overheating condition, let the system cool off first. Switch the ignition off then on. Do not use the power point for certain electric devices, including: • Cathode ray tube type televisions • Motor loads, for example vacuum cleaners, electric saws and other electric power tools, or compressor-driven refrigerators • Measuring devices which process precise data, for example medical equipment or measuring equipment • Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply, for example microcomputer-controlled electric blankets or touch sensor lamps 154 MKZ (), enUSA
