it IS in the manual

AUXILIARY POWER POINT (12V DC)Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:

On the instrument panel

Inside the center console storage area (if equipped)

On the rear of the center console (if equipped) accessible from the
rear seat
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if
equipped).
Note:
Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette
lighter socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter can cause
damage not covered by your warranty, and can result in fire or serious
injury

I can assure you that a hot coiled cigarette lighter warming up in there is more dangerous than a car charger lol.
