WARNING
● When using a power outlet in an
area with poor ventilation or an
enclosed area, such as a
garage, to prevent the exhaust
gasses from accumulating and
causing a lack of oxygen, make
sure to use a ventilation or
exhaust system.
The power outlet are for use in
directly connecting electrical
devices such as lights. Do not
use the power outlet as genera-
tors to supply power to a house,
etc.
● Do not use the power outlet if
the vehicle has a vehicle cover
installed.
● Do not sleep in the vehicle while
using devices such as an elec-
tric heater.
■ Devices to be connected
Make sure to read any instruction
manual which came with a device
and observe any warnings on the
device. Do not connect a device
to a power outlet if the device is
malfunctioning or its plug is dam-
aged. Also, do not use the power
outlet to power the following
devices:
● Medical devices
Do not use a power outlet to
power these types of devices as
the output of the power outlet may
be cut, depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle.

6-4. Using the other interior features
■ To avoid short circuit or mal-
function
● Do not set a toaster or other
device which generates heat
near the interior components or
on a seat. Heat may cause
these parts to melt or burn.
● Do not use devices which are
sensitive to vibration or heat in
the vehicle.
These devices may malfunction
due to vibration while driving or
heat while the vehicle is parked
in the sun.
● When not using a power outlet,
make sure to close the cover. If
foreign matter or a liquid enters
the power outlet, it may cause a
malfunction or short circuit.
● Do not use a multi-point outlet
adaptor as doing so may over-
load the power outlet.
■ When the ambient tempera-
ture is high
If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
sufficiently ventilate or cool the
interior.
■ When the ambient tempera-
ture is low
If the vehicle has been stopped in
a cold area, to protect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the
power outlet may not be able to
be used. In this case, drive the
vehicle for a while to warm up the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
■ To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
If using an electrical device that
consumes 100 W or more of
power for a period of time, turn off
the headlights, air conditioning
and all other electrical compo-
nents equipped to the vehicle.
