66 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION! (Continued)
Many accessories that can be plugged in

draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,

coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will
degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accesso-

ries, or long periods of the vehicle not being
(Continued)
started (with accessories still plugged in),
the vehicle must be driven a sufficient
length of time to allow the alternator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Power outlets are designed for accessory

plugs only. Do not hang any type of acces-
sory or accessory bracket from the plug.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage.
