Kia Rio: Interior features / Power outlet

The power outlet is designed to provide power for mobile telephones or other devices designed to operate with vehicle electrical systems. The devices should draw less than 12V, 15A with the engine running.

Use the power outlet only when the engine is running and remove the accessory plug after use. Using the accessory plug for prolonged periods of time with the engine off could cause the battery to discharge.

Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 15A in electric capacity.

Close the cover when not in use.

Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when plugged into a vehicle’s power outlet. These devices may cause excessive audio static and malfunctions in other electronic systems or devices used in your vehicle.

Using electrical products which exceed the limited capacity might cause heating to the power outlet and wiring that could lead to an electrical breakdown. Always make sure the electrical part is firmly plugged into the power outlet. Incomplete plugging may cause electrical breakdown.

Electrical products with a built-in battery might cause current flow, which could lead to malfunction of the electric/ electronic device in your vehicle. Only use electrical products which include reverse current prevention

WARNING - Electric shock

Do not put a finger or a foreign object (pen, etc.) into a power outlet and do not touch with a wet hand. You may receive an electric shock.
