Only use plugs that fit properly. D Use of an electric appliance in the accessory socket or dual power socket for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge. D Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appliance will not interfere with your shifting gears and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving. CAUTION - CONTINUED - 6-9
