ACCESSORY POWER POINTS

There are two sockets to provide a power
source for accessories, such as a 12-volt
vacuum cleaner or mobile phone.

One is fitted to the end of the centre
console to the left of the cigar lighter,
beneath a flip lid.

The other accessories socket is located in
the glove compartment (not shown).

Caution: Only Jaguar approved
accessories should be plugged into the
power sockets. Using any other
equipment may damage the vehicle's
electrical system. If you are in any
doubt contact a Jaguar Dealer.

Caution: The engine should be running
when using accessories for long
periods. Failure to do so can discharge
the battery.

ASHTRAY

Push the lid to gain access to the front
cigar lighter and ashtray. To operate the
cigar lighter the ignition must be on, press
the lighter in and wait until the element
has heated, it will then pop-up.

Do not attempt to remove particles from
the heating element, it is self-cleaning.

The cigar lighter is designed to be used
just to heat the lighter element and is not
for providing a power source for
accessories.

ashtray into the opening until it snaps
back into place.
