WARNING
Improper use of the sockets or electrical devices could lead to a fire and
cause serious injuries.
x Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. The sockets and
equipment connected to them can be used when the ignition is switched
on.
x Should a connected electrical device overheat, switch it off and unplug
it immediately.
Caution
x To avoid damage to the vehicle's electrical system, never connect equip-
ment that generates electrical current, such as solar panels or battery
chargers, to the 12 Volt sockets in order to charge the vehicle's battery.
x Only use accessories with approved electromagnetic compatibility
according to current regulations.
x To avoid damage due to voltage variations, switch off all appliances
connected to the 12 V sockets before switching the ignition on or off and
before starting the engine.
x Never connect an appliance to the 12 Volt socket that consumes more
than the power indicated in watts. Exceeding the maximum power absorption
could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
For the sake of the environment
Do not leave the engine running when the vehicle is at a standstill.
Note
Using electrical appliances with the engine stopped and the ignition
switched on will drain the battery.
Note
Unshielded equipment can cause interference on the radio equipment and
the vehicle's electrical system.
Note
Interference can occur on the radio's AM waveband if electrical appliances
are used near the rear window aerial.
