accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the lighter
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty, and can result in fire or serious
injury.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volts DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Incorrect use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
running out of charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running.

overnight or when your vehicle is
parked for extended periods.

WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the power point,
since it will defeat the safety protection
design. Doing so my cause the power point
to overload due to powering multiple
devices that can reach beyond the 150
watt load limit and could result in fire or
serious injury.
Note: The power point will turn off when
the ignition is switched off or the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.
Note: Depending on the country for which
your vehicle was originally built, the voltage
supply will be either 110 volts or 230 volts.
