CAUTION
- Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory power outlet.
- 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.

NOTE
The power outlets in the center console and the glove box can be used even when the lid is closed because there are gaps that allow the cords to come out. Pass the cord of the electrical appliance through this gap.
