If good contact is not made, the plug may overheat or the internal temperature fuse may open. ● When not in use, be sure to close the cap. Do not allow water or any other liquid to contact the outlet. LIC1070 WIC1262 Instrument panel The power outlets are for powering electrical accessories such as cellular telephones.
