Power socket for trailer
The v
ehicle is fitted with a 13-pole power socket
for the connection between the trailer and the
vehicle. With the engine running, electrical devi-
ces on the trailer receive power from the elec-
trical connection (pin 9 and pin 10 of the trailer
power socket).
If the system detects that a trailer has been
connected, the consumers on the trailer will re-
ceive electricity through this connection (pins 9
and 10). Pin 9 has a permanent live. This pow-
ers, for example, the trailer's interior lighting.
Electrical devices such as a fridge in a caravan
only receive electrical power if the engine is
running (through pin 10).
To avoid overloading the electrical system, you
cannot connect the ground wires of pin 3, pin 11
or pin 13.
If the trailer has a 7-contact connector, you
will need to use an adapter cable. In this case
the function corresponding to pin 10 will not be
available.
