WARNING
Improper use of power outlets and electrical devices
can cause fire and serious injury.
· Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.
Power outlets and the devices connected to
them can be used when the ignition is on.
· If electrical devices get too hot, turn them off
immediately and disconnect them from the
mains.

Never connect electrical devices that supply
current, such as solar panels or battery chargers,
to 12 volt outlets to charge the 12 volt battery.
The continuous power of all 12 volt sockets in the
vehicle is 120 watts total ÿ pg. 229.

power consumption of the connected devices is
excessive or the ambient temperature is very high.
The 230, 115 or 100 volt sockets can be used again
after a cooling phase.
In order to be able to use the 230, 115 or 100 volt
socket again after the cooling phase, you must first
unplug the plug of the connected device and then
plug it back in. This prevents the electrical device
from being turned on again unintentionally.
DANGER
The electrical system is under high voltage!
· Do not spill liquids into the power outlet.

· Do not plug adapters or extension cords into
230, 115 or 100 volt sockets.
Otherwise the integrated child lock will unlock
and the socket will work.

watts).
With the engine running, the socket is automatically

WARNING
— Connecting an electrical device: open the cover
(if present) and plug the plug into the socket as
far as it will go to unlock the integrated child lock.
The socket only supplies power once the child lock
has been unlocked.
· Do not hang heavy devices or connectors, eg.
e.g. a power adapter, directly from the power
outlet.
· Do not connect neon lamps.
· Only connect devices whose voltage matches
