115 V socket
GWarning!
The 115V AC socket operates at high voltage.
Use the 115V AC socket in the vehicle with
the same caution and prudence that you
exercise when using power outlets at home.
Keep any fluids away from the 115V AC
socket. Do not clean the socket with fluids or
tapered objects. Keep the 115V AC socket
cover in the closed position, when not in use.
Otherwise, you could suffer an electric shock
and be seriously or even fatally injured.
GWarning!
A device that you connect must have a
suitable plug that complies with U.S.
standards. Never pull on the cable to unplug
a plug from the 115V AC socket. Do not use
a damaged connection cable. The 115V AC
socket may not be connected to another
115V AC power source. Do not use converters
to a grounding plug with the 115V AC socket.
This could cause serious personal injury to
you and/or others.
GWarning!
If the 115V AC socket is damaged or torn out
of the trim, do not use or touch the 115V AC
socket. Using a 115V AC socket that is
damaged or torn out of the trim could cause

The 115 V AC power socket : provides an
alternating voltage of 115 V, so that small
electronic devices can be connected. These
devices, such as games consoles, chargers
and laptops, should not consume more than
a maximum of 150 W altogether.
Requirements for operation of these devices:
R 12 V power sockets in the footwell of the
second row of seats and in the stowage
compartment must be functioning
correctly ( Y page 224).
R the plug of the electronic device is plugged
into the 115 V power socket :.
R the on-board voltage is within a permissible
voltage range.
R the maximum wattage of the device to be
connected must not exceed 150 W.

R the on-board voltage of the vehicle is not
within the permissible voltage range.
R the temperature of the DC/AC converter is
momentarily too high.
R some small electronic devices have a
constant nominal power of less than
150 W, but a very high inrush current.
These devices will not work. If you connect
such a device, the 115 V power socket :
will not supply it with power.
If indicator lamp ; still does not light up,
consult a specialist workshop, e.g. an
