These 12 volt sockets can be used to plug in certain accessories such as cellular tele-phones, etc. The ignition key must be in at least position I
for the sockets in the front seat and the optional socket at the rear of the center con-sole to function. The maximum current consumption is 10A (120W) if only one of the 12-volt sockets inthe passenger compartment is in use. If boththe front and rear sockets are used at thesame time, the maximum current consump-tion per socket is 7.5A (90W). 12-volt socket in the cargo compartment Fold down the lid to use the socket. This socket can be used even if the ignition isswitched off.NOTE
• If the 12-volt sockets are used while the engine is not running, there is arisk that the vehicle's battery will bedischarged.
• If the ignition is switched off and adevice drawing more than 0.1 A isconnected to a socket, a battery warn-ing will be displayed in the text win-dow.
