Interior equipment

¢ Use with a cigarette lighter

The cigarette lighter operates only when

the ignition switch is in the “ON” and

“ACC” positions.

To use the cigarette lighter, push in the

knob and wait a few moments. It will auto-

matically spring up when ready for use.

¢ Using as an accessory power

outlet

Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery

is available at the socket when the ignition

switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” posi-

tion.

If you use the socket as an accessory

power outlet, take the following precau-

tions.

When the socket is not in use, always put

the cap on the socket to prevent any for-

eign object from entering it.

The electrical power outlet locat-

ed on the lower part of the instru-

ment panel is originally designed

to use a genuine Saab cigarette

lighter plug. Do not use non-genu-

ine cigarette lighter plugs in the

socket. Doing so may cause a

short-circuit and overheating, re-

sulting in a fire.

If the socket is ever used for a

plug-in accessory such as a cell

phone, that may damage the por-

tion of the socket’s internal mech-

anism that causes a cigarette

lighter plug to “pop out” after its

lighter element is heated. There-

fore, do not place a cigarette light-

er plug in a socket that has been

used, even once, to power a plug-

in accessory. Doing so may cause

the plug to stick and overheat,

creating a potential fire hazard.

Do not place any foreign objects,

especially metal ones such as

coins or aluminum foil, into the

socket. That could cause a short

circuit.

To avoid being burned, never grasp

the lighter by the end with the heat-

ing element. Doing so could result

in injury and could also damage the

heating element.

600526

Do not hold the lighter pushed in,

because it will overheat.

Use only in-car use electrical ap-

pliances which are designed for

12V DC and which consume less

than 120W. Overloading the sock-

et can cause a short circuit. Do

not use double adapters or more

than one electrical appliance.
