The devices should draw less than 15A when the vehicle is in ON position.

WARNING

Electric shock

Do not put a finger or a foreign object (such as a pen) into a power outlet, and do not touch it with a wet hand. You may get an electric shock.

NOTE

  • Use the power outlet only when the vehicle is in ON position, and remove the accessory plug after use. Using the accessory plug for prolonged periods of time with the vehicle OFF could cause the battery to discharge.

  • Only use 12V electric accessories that are less than 15A in electric capacity.

  • Adjust the air conditioner or heater to the lowest level when using the power outlet.

  • Close the cover when not in use.

  • Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when plugged into a vehicle’s power outlet. These devices may cause excessive audio static and malfunctions in other electronic systems or devices used in your vehicle.

  • Push the plug in as far as it will go. If the plug does not make good contact, it may overheat, and the fuse may open.

  • Plug in battery -equipped electronic devices with reverse current protection. The current from the battery may flow into the vehicle’s electrical system and cause system malfunction.

WARNING

Do not connect another vehicle’s Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) to the power outlet. The unmatched power requirement between the vehicle power outlet and the TMK can cause fire or circuit damage within both the vehicle and the TMK.
