82nCigarette lighter  
Cigarette lighter socket  
The socket is suitable for attaching  
power supplies for flashlights, car  
vacuum cleaners, or other appliances  
up to a rating of approx. 200 watts at  
12 volts. Avoid damaging the socket by  
inserting plugs of improper shapes or  
sizes.  
Press in. You can remove the lighter  
from its socket for use as soon as it  
snaps back out.  
Hold or touch the hot cigarette  
lighter by the knob only. Holding  
or touching it in other areas could result  
in burns.  
The cigarette lighter remains opera-  
tional when the ignition key has been  
removed. This is yet another reason you  
should never allow unsupervised chil-  
dren to remain alone in the vehicle.<
