Accessory power outlets are provided below the climate control dials and in the center console. Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is available at any of the outlets when the ignition switch is in either the “Acc” or “ON” position.
You can use an in-vehicle electrical appliance by connecting it to an outlet.
The maximum power rating of an appliance that can be connected is 120W. Do not use an appliance which exceeds the indicated wattage for each outlet.
When using appliances connected to two outlets simultaneously, the total power consumed by them must not exceed 120W.

• Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory power outlets.
• Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory power outlet. That could cause a short circuit. Always put the cap on the accessory power outlet when it is not in use.
