CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets
draw power from the vehicle's battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine operation, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
