Power outlets
iYou can use the power outlets even if the
ignition is switched off.
An emergency shut-off feature is designed
to prevent the vehicle’s on-board voltage
from dropping below a minimum level. If
the on-board voltage drops to this
minimum level, the power outlets are
automatically switched off, to help
preserve engine starting power.
12V Power outlets
! If you use all power outlets in the vehicle,
make sure that the maximum current
drawn does not exceed 55 A.
! The power outlets in the front passenger
footwell and cargo compartment are not
designed for use with the electric air pump.
Use the power outlet in the second-row
footwell for electric air pump operation.
The power outlets can be used to
accommodate 12V DC electrical accessories
(e.g. mobile phone chargers, auxiliary lamps)
up to a maximum of 20 A (240 W).
