CAUTION!

Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power

from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
mobile phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.

CAUTION! (Continued)

After the use of high-power draw accessories, or

long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs

only. Do not hang any type of accessory or acces-
sory bracket from the plug.
