Instrument Panel Storage Compartment; Auxiliary Power Point (12Vdc) - Ford 2010 Fusion Owner's Manual

INSTRUMENT PANEL STORAGE COMPARTMENT

The storage compartment may be
used to secure sunglasses or similar
sized objects. Press the button to
open the storage compartment.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT (12VDC)

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:
• On the instrument panel
• In the center console utility compartment
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if
equipped).
To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s)
over the vehicle capacity of 12 VDC/180W. If the power point is not
working, a fuse may have blown. Refer to Fuses and relays in the
Roadside Emergencies chapter for information on checking and
replacing fuses.
To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to
be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent
the battery from being discharged:
• do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running,
• do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and
other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for
extended periods.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
