Important limits

  • Never use the system in a garage or poorly ventilated area because the gasoline engine can start automatically as hybrid-battery charge falls.
  • Do not refuel, wash the vehicle, leave it unattended or connect damaged, wet or unsafe equipment while supplying power.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If supply stops, disconnect devices and verify their total and startup demand do not exceed 1500 W, then retry.
  • ✓Low fuel, a hot or cold traction battery, a short circuit or foreign material in the outlet can block operation; correct the displayed cause before restarting.
