!
The lighter socket can be used to accommo-
date 12 V DC electrical accessories (up to a
maximum of 85 W) designed for use with the
standard “cigarette lighter” plug type. Keep in
mind, however, that connecting accessories to
the lighter socket (for example extensive con-
necting and disconnecting, or using plugs that do
not fit properly) can damage the lighter socket.
With the socket damaged, the lighter may no
longer be able to be placed in the heating
(pushed-in) position, or the lighter may pop out
too early with the lighter not hot enough.
To help avoid damaging the cigarette lighter
socket, we recommend connecting 12 V DC
electrical accessories designed for use with a
standard “cigarette lighter” plug type to the 12 V
power outlets in your vehicle whenever possible.
i
The power outlet can be used to
accommodate 12 V DC electrical accessories
(e.g. air pump, auxiliary lamps) up to a maximum
of 180 W.
An additional power outlet is located on the left
side in the trunk.

457 Practical hints
Flat tire
1Flap
2On/off switch
3Electrical plug
4Air hose with pressure gauge and vent
screw
5Union nut
Open flap 1 on electric air pump.

Pull out electrical plug 3 and air hose
with pressure gauge 4.

Remove the valve cap from the
collapsible tire valve.

Screw union nut5 onto the collaps-
ible tire valve.

Insert electrical plug 3 into vehicle
cigarette lighter socket.

Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch
to position1.

PressI on electric air pump switch 2.
The electric air pump should now
switch on and inflate the collapsible
tire.

Inflate the tire to approximately 51 psi
(3.5 bar).
This takes about 5 minutes for the col-
lapsible tire. Air hose 4 and union
nut5 can become hot during infla-
tion. Exercise proper caution to avoid
burning yourself when using the equip-
ment.

Press0 on electric air pump switch 2.

Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch
to position0.

If the tire pressure is above 51 psi
(3.5 bar), release excess tire pressure
using the vent screw.

Detach the electric air pump.
!
Do not operate the electric air pump longer
than 8 minutes without interruption. Otherwise it
may overheat.
You may operate the electric air pump again af-
ter it has cooled off.
Warning!
G
Follow recommend tire inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured or damaged by road debris, potholes,
etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
