When a suitable device is connected, the
115 V power socket will be carrying a high
voltage. You could receive an electric shock if the connector cable or the 115 V power
socket is pulled out of the trim or is damaged
or wet. There is a risk of fatal injury. R
Use only connector cables that are dry and
free of damage.
R When the ignition is off, make sure that the
115 V power socket is dry.
R Have the 115 V power socket checked or
replaced immediately at a qualified speci-
alized workshop if it is damaged or has been
pulled out of the trim.
R Never plug the connector cable into a 115 V
power socket that is damaged or has been
pulled out of the trim. G
DANGER
If you reach into the power socket or plug
inappropriate devices into the power socket,
you could receive an electric shock. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Only connect appropriate devices to the
power socket.
! Note that work and repairs on the 115 V
power socket should only be carried out by
qualified specialist personnel.
General notes 115 V power socket provides an alternating
voltage of 115 V so that small electronic devi- ces can be connected. These devices, such as
games consoles, chargers and laptops,
should not consume more than a maximum of
150 watts altogether.
Requirements for operation of these devices:
R the electronic device that you connect has
a suitable connector and conforms to
standards specific to the country you are in.
R the plug of the electronic device is plugged
correctly into 115 V power socket.
R the maximum wattage of the device to be
connected must not exceed 150 watts.
R the on-board power supply is within a per-
missible voltage range.
R the 12 V sockets in the rear compartment
and the cargo compartment are opera-
tional. 350

properties)
General notes With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat
characteristics), you can continue to drive
your vehicle even if there is a total loss of
pressure in one or more tires. The affected
tire must not show any clearly visible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tires by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the
sidewall of the tire. You will find this marking
next to the tire size designation, the load-
bearing capacity and the speed index
(Y page 417).
MOExtended tires may only be used in con-
junction with an active tire pressure loss
warning system or with an active tire pressure
monitor.
If the pressure loss warning message
appears in the multifunction display:
R Observe the instructions in the display
messages (Y page 312).
R Check the tire for damage.
