■ Maximum available capacity of the power outlet

● While the vehicle is being driven

The maximum capacity of the power outlet is always 120 V AC/

100 W.

● When the vehicle is stationary

The maximum capacity of the power outlet varies depending on

the position of the shift lever.

• The maximum capacity is 120 V AC/100 W when the shift

lever is in any position other than P or N.

• The maximum capacity is 120 V AC/400 W when the shift

lever is in P or N.

The maximum capacity of 400 W can only be restored by turning the

power outlet main switch off and then on again with the shift lever in

P or N.

■When the power outlet is in operation

The sound of the cooling fan may be heard from the right side of the luggage

compartment. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

■If the engine is started with the power outlet main switch on

The maximum capacity of the power supply may decrease to below the stan-

dard, or may be cut off completely, even when the vehicle is stationary.

■The protection circuit may be activated to cut the power supply if any of

the following conditions apply:

●The engine is started with the power outlet main switch on.

●Use of electrical appliances exceeding the maximum capacity is attempted.

A sound may be heard when the protection circuit is activated. This is nor-

mal and does not indicate a malfunction.

●Electrical appliances, which consume power exceeding 100 W, have been

used continuously for a long time period.

●The total power usage by all electrical features (headlights, air conditioning,

etc.) has exceeded the total vehicle maximum for an extended period of

time.

■If the protection circuit is activated and the power supply is cut, conduct

the following procedure:

Park the vehicle in a safe place, and then securely apply the parking brake.

Check and ensure that the shift lever is in P or N.

●Close the power outlet lid when not in use.

●Do not allow foreign objects or liquids to enter the power outlet, as this

may cause a short circuit.

●Do not use plug adaptors to connect too many plugs to the power outlet.

●After removing a plug, gently close the power outlet lid.

■To prevent the fuse from being blown

Do not use a 120 V AC appliance that requires more than the maximum

capacity of the power outlet. If a 120 V AC appliance that consumes more

than the maximum capacity is used, the protection circuit will cut the power

supply.

■Appliances that may not operate properly (120 V AC)

The following 120 V AC appliances may not operate even if their power con-

sumption is under maximum capacity.

●Appliances with high initial peak wattage

●Measuring devices that process precise data.

●Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply

■To prevent battery discharge

Turn off all the vehicle's electronic equipment and accessories, such as the

headlights and air conditioning, when electrical appliances that consume in

excess of 100 W are used continuously for long periods of time.

■To prevent any damage caused by heat

●Do not use any electrical appliances that give off intense heat, such as

toasters, in any locations including the internal or external trim, seats and

deck.

●Do not use any electrical appliances that are easily affected by vibration or

heat inside the vehicle. Vibration while driving, or the heat of the sun while
