Your vehicle may have a power outlet that can be used to plug in auxiliary electrical equipment with a maximum limit of 150 watts. If you try to use equipment that requires more than the limit, a protection circuit will cut the power supply. To reset the outlet, unplug the item and plug it back in or turn the ignition to LOCK or ACCESSORY and then back on. The power will automatically restart when equipment that operates within the limit is plugged into the outlet.
