• Cleaning and caring for the interior 388
A WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the vehi-cle interior in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre. This can cause serious injury and can also lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
• Do not stow any pets or any hard, heavy or sharp objects in the vehicle's open stow-age compartments, in the luggage net, on the dash panel, on the shelf behind the rear seats or in items of clothing and bags in the vehicle interior.
• Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
A WARNING
Objects in the driver footweli can hinder ped-al operation. This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and increase the risk of serious injury.
• Please ensure that all pedals can always be operated without any hindrance.
• The foot mats must always be properly se-cured in the footwell.
• No additional foot mats or other floor cov-erings should be placed over the fitted foot mat.
• Ensure that no objects can enter the driv-er footwell while the vehicle is in motion.
• If there are any objects in the footwell, re-move them when the vehicle is parked.
A WARNING
Improper use of the stowage compartments can cause serious injury.
• Never fill stowage compartments beyond their capacity.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always take care when closing stowage compartments that nobody is within their functional area.
A WARNING
Cigarette lighters in the vehicle could be damaged or accidentally lit. This could lead to serious burns and other injuries.
• Before adjusting the seats always make sure that there is no lighter on or near the moveable parts of the seat.
• Before closing stowage areas or compart-ments always ensure that there is no lighter in the way.
• Never stow lighters in stowage areas or compartments or on other surfaces in the ve-hicle. Cigarette lighters may self-ignite on high-temperature surfaces, especially in sum-mer.
CD
• Hard objects on the shelf can chafe against the wires of the heating element in the rear win-dow and cause damage.
• Do not store any heat-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle. Hot and cold temperatures could damage them or ren-der them unusable.
• Objects stored in the vehicle that are made from transparent materials, such as glasses, magnifying glasses or transparent suction cups on the windows, can concentrate the sun's rays and thus cause damage to the vehi-cle.
m Always ensure that the ventilation openings L!J between the rear window and the stowage area are uncovered to allow stale air to escape from the vehicle. Equipment, California I 211

Inserting the Euro plug
• Plug the Euro plug into the Euro socket. The child safety function will disengage at the same time. Electricity will not flow until the child lock has been unlocked.
• Push the Euro plug all the way into the Euro socket so that it is firmly in place and will not fall out as a result of vibration or other vehicle motion.
LEDs above the socket
Constant green light The child lock is disen-gaged. The Euro socket is ready for use.
Flashing red light A fault has occurred. for example cut-off due to excess current or tem-perature.
Compatible devices
Electrical devices with a Euro plug can be connec-ted to the 230-volt Euro socket in the side trim pan-el behind the left front seat.
230-volt grounded safety socket
Fig. 210 There is a 230-volt grounded safety socket Q) on the side of the kitchen unit.
r--T'n First read and observe the Introductory L-k.U information and safety warnings & on page 242.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the 230-volt grounded safety socket is located on the side of the kitchen unit 210 or in the side trim panel behind the left front seat 211 Intro-duction on page 243.
The 230-volt grounded safety socket only operates when the following conditions exist concurrently:
246 I Before the journey
The maximum power rating is 150 watts. Do not exceed the maximum power rating. This also ap-plies to the total power consumption of all connec-ted devices if you connect several devices at the same time in Introduction on page 243. The power rating of each device is stated on its type plate.
Temperature switch-off
The inverter in the 230-volt Euro socket will switch off automatically if the temperature exceeds a spe-cific value. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the pow-er consumption is too high or if the ambient tem-perature is too high. The 230-volt Euro socket can-not be used again until after the cool-down phase.
The plug on the connected device must first be re-moved and then reinserted before using the 230-volt Euro socket again after the cooling phase. This helps prevent the connected electrical devices being switched on accidentally. <1

• The mains coupling is connected properly to the feed plug of the external socket 245.
• The other end of the cable is connected to the public power mains.
• The residual current circuit breaker has not been tripped.
Compatible devices
Household appliances (such as coffee makers, electric kettles, vacuum cleaners) can be connec-ted to the 230-volt grounded safety socket. .,.

A WARNING (Continued)
• Never fit fuses that have a higher fuse pro-tection limit. Fuses must always be replaced by a new fuse with the same amp rating (same colour and markings) and size.
• Never repair a fuse.
• Never use a metal strip, paper clip or simi-lar objects to replace a fuse.
CD
• To avoid damage to the electrical system in the vehicle, switch the ignition, the lights and all electrical consumers off and remove the ve-hicle key from the ignition before changing a fuse.
• You can damage another position in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher amp rating.
• Fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture when opened. Dirt and moisture in the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system. Air conditioning system, California
