Call me dense, but what are "dual power points"?

from http://www.scion.com/drive/features/..._features.html

 

I was wondering the same thing myself. Along with what are "IP meters?"

Thats a good question! What does dual power points mean? I am thinking of every technical definition for a word and still I don't know what it means.

 

I would think that they mean Cigarette lighters.....or as present day setups are called power plugs.

As for IP meters.....i wouldn't have the darndest idea.

 

i think they are those things business and students use
to make slideshows for presentations.. except u get 2 of them!

:lol:

 

I'm guessing IP meters means Instrument Panel and they "awaken with a bounce" because when you turn your car on, the gauges do a full sweep. (ie: 0 to 140 to 0 mph, 1 to 8 to 1 rpm's) I think thats cool(the STI does it). The dual power points...well, not too sure but maybe their talking about like when you press the gas, it goes really fast, and then the second power band kicks in. (like the celica's and matrix's) Probably not but I'm just trying to make and educated guess. Hell if i know, but it sounds nice, right?

 

yeah I asked a bunch of people and Scionic is right its supposed to be cigarette lighters ! Give the man a cookie !

 

i drove a sti a few months ago..
man that thing was a beast. i'll never forget it..
im sure there are cars faster, better, or whatever.
but so far, that was the beastiest car i've driven.. hehe
that thing plunges u to the seat when u gun it.

 

ok....its the cgarette lighter....but where is the second power point as in "dual"?

 

Good Question, I only see one in the pic, the other could be hiding... lurking... just waiting for us to take a deep breath, then BAMN out in the open...

 

Power Point are additional plugs that power things like Portable DVD Players, Power Inverters, Ect. They are in addition to the cigarette lighter, but with no lighter just the plug.

 

i bet the second one is inside the armrest like my corolla.

 

it is in the same area as my matrix
