Socket in boot

[Denbyden]

Hi

New to me is a 2012 XTR ( replacing a Ford C-Max) which I would like to put an Amdro Boot Jump into. I have seen one in action, and it looks good. I am impressed with the driving, especially on a long trip,  but find the handbrake not easy to use as the release button snags my thumb. My other niggle is the storage spaces; there are plenty but not one will accommodate my road atlas. 

A question to experienced folks here is about the  electric socket in the boot ..... What is it for? Can I run camping lighting from it, or a cool box? If so what do folks recommend I get?

Thanks, and I hope that I will before long be able to answer questions as well as ask them!
