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