WARNING
Improper use of electrical sockets and electrical devices may
start a fire and cause severe personal injury.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Sockets and
connected devices can be used when the ignition is switched
on.
If the connected device gets warm, immediately switch it off
and disconnect the power supply.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the electrical system, never con-
nect any accessories such as a solar panel or vehicle battery
charger to a 12 Volt socket.
Only use accessories which have been tested for electromag-
netic compatibility with a motor vehicle.
To help prevent damage from voltage fluctuations, switch off
all electrical consumers connected to the 12 Volt socket before
switching the ignition on or off or starting the engine.
Never connect devices to a 12 Volt socket that draw more than
the maximum wattage the socket can supply. Drawing too much
power can damage the vehicle electrical system.
