Cigarette Lighter: Service Precautions

Cautions For Use Of The Cigarette Lighter Socket As Auxiliary Power Source
1. When using a "plug-in" type of accessory, do not use anything with a load of more than 120 W.
2. It is recommended that only the lighter be inserted in the receptacle.
Use of "plug-in" type accessories may damage the receptacle and result in poor retention of the lighter.

NOTE: The specified load should be strictly observed, because overloaded cord burns the ignition switch and harness.
