Operation
12 volt power socket
The 12 v
olt power socket will only work with
the ignition on.
Using electrical appliances with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched on will
drain the battery. Therefore, electrical devi-
ces connected to the power socket can only
be used when the engine is running.
To prevent voltage variations from causing
damage, switch off the electrical consumer
connected to the 12 volt power socket before
switching the ignition on or off and before
starting the engine.
12 volt power sockets can be found in the fol-
lowing locations in the vehicle:
●
Compartment in the centre of the centre
console.
●
Compartment in the front centre console.
●
Storage compartment in the front central
armrest.
●
Rear centre console

Connect an el
ectrical device: Open the cov-
er and insert the plug into the power socket
as far as possible to unlock the built-in child
lock. The socket only supplies power once
the child lock is unlocked.

Flashing red
light:
There is an anomaly, e.g. dis-
connection due t
o a current
surge or overheating.
Disconnection due to overheating
When the t
emperature exceeds a certain val-
ue, the 230 volt socket inverter is automati-
cally disconnected. The disconnection pre-
vents overheating when the power consump-
tion of the connected devices is excessive or
the ambient temperature is very high. The
230-volt power supply can be used once
again after a cooling time. First unplug the
connector of the connected device and then
plug it back in again. This prevents the elec-
trical device from being switched on again if
this is not wanted.
WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage!
●
Do not spill liquids onto the socket.
●
Do not plug adapters or extension cords
int
o the 230 volt power socket. Otherwise,
the integrated child lock will be unlocked
and the power socket will operate.
●
Do not inser
t conductive objects (a knit-
ting needle, for example) into the 230 volt
power socket.
CAUTION
●
Al
ways follow the operating instructions
for the appliances to be connected!
●
Never exceed the maximum power rating
as this could damage the vehicle's general
electrical system.
●
12 volt power socket:
–
Only use accessories with approved
electromagnetic compatibility accord-
ing to current regulations.
–
Never power the socket.
●
230 volt power socket:
–
Do not leave devices or connectors
that are too heavy (e.g. a transformer)
hanging directly from the power sock-
et.
–
Do not connect neon lamps.
–
Only connect devices to the socket if
the device and socket voltage match.
–
The built-in overload disconnect func-
tion prevents any electrical devices
that require a high start-up current
from turning on. In this case, unplug the
electrical device's power supply and
re-try the connection after about 10
seconds.
