.WARNING
Improper connections to the vehicle electrical system can cause malfunctions that affect the
entire vehicle electrical system, which can lead to accidents and serious personal injury.
x Have any work on the electrical system done by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
x Never connect the electrical system for the trailer directly to the electrical connections for
the rear lights or to any other unsuitable power sources. Use only a suitable connector to
provide power to the trailer.
.NOTICE
Never attach a trailer to the vehicle or leave it attached to the vehicle when the trailer is
supported by a trailer jack or blocks. Various things (such as a change in trailer or vehicle load
or a flat tire) can lower or raise the vehicle. This subjects the trailer hitch and the trailer to
strong forces that can damage the vehicle or the trailer.
.Any problems with the vehicle's electrical system when attached to a trailer should be checked
by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
.If the engine is switched off and accessories in the trailer are on and use electricity from the
vehicle, the vehicle battery will be drained as long as the electrical systems of the vehicle and the
trailer are connected.

Maximum power draw

Socket Maximum power draw
12 Volts 120 watts
115 Volts 150 watts (300 watts peak consumption)

The maximum power draw at any one socket must never be exceeded. Electrical devices should have
information on them that says how much power they draw.
If 2 or more electrical devices are connected at the same time, the total power draw of all connected
devices must never be more than 190 watts ⇒ .
12 Volt socket
The 12 Volt socket works only when the ignition is switched on.
If the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the vehicle battery will be drained by any device that
is plugged in and turned on. For this reason, never use the electrical sockets unless the engine is
running.
To help prevent damage from voltage fluctuations, switch off all electrical devices connected to a 12
Volt socket before switching the ignition on or off or starting the engine.
The vehicle may have 12 Volt sockets at the following places:
x In the storage compartment in the front center armrest.
x In the rear center console.
x In the luggage compartment.
x In the storage compartment in the lower front center console.
115 Volt socket
The socket can only be used if the engine is running ⇒ .
Connecting an electrical device: Insert the plug as far as it goes into the socket in order to unlock the
integrated childproof lock. There is electricity in the socket only after the childproof lock is unlocked.

LED display on the socket ⇒ fig.122
Green continuous light: The child-proof lock is unlocked. The
socket is operational.
Red flashing light: Malfunction, such as cutoff due to current
overload or overheating.

Overheating cutoff
The inverter in the 115 Volt socket shuts off automatically above a certain temperature. The shutoff
prevents overheating in case of excessive power consumption of connected devices or at high
ambient air temperatures. The inverter switches back on automatically after a cool-down period.
Connected devices which were left switched on come back on again. For this reason, switch off
connected electrical devices if the inverter switches off due to overheating.

Function key: Effect
Energy flow: Energy flow to the high-voltage battery (battery charge).
On-board computer: Display of different vehicle values for example average fuel economy and
consumption.
Fuel economy: Display of fuel consumption and the regeneration of the high-voltage battery when
driving.

Changes made in settings menus are automatically applied once the menu is closed.
