r-'('n First read and observe the introductory l.-Jo:-11 Information and safety warnings & on page 242.
The 230-volt power supply via the external socket allows for charging the additional batteries and for using a 230-volt grounded safety socket in the inte-rior 246.
Connecting to the mains
• Unlatch the external socket's protective cover downwards and then swing it upwards.
• Keep the protective cover in this position.
• Connect the mains coupling to the feed plug of the external socket so that the blue locking catch on the feed plug of the external socket engages.
• Lower the cover on the external socket to pro-tect the connection.
• Switch on the residual current circuit breaker 247. Please note the positions of the bridge connection: "on" (red) or "off' (green).
230-volt Euro socket, California
Disconnecting from the mains
• Switch off the residual current circuit breaker 247.
• Push up the external socket's protective cover.
• Depress the blue locking catch on the left of the feed plug and pull the mains coupling from the feed plug of the external socket.
• Push the protective cover of the external socket down until it clicks into place.
CD
Never connect an inappropriate power source as this could damage the whole vehicle electri-cal system.
• Power supplied to the vehicle must comply with valid standards and regulations.
• Never use power with excessive voltage, three-phase current, or the wrong frequency.
m When connected, the 230-volt power supply l!J will charge the additional batteries under the left front seat and in the living area 247.
m The 230-volt electrical feed will be shown as l!J a symbol in the display of the central control panel when charging. r-'('n First read and observe the introductory l-J,:..U Information and safety warnings & on page 242.

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.

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.

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 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. .,.

In some vehicles, the locations of fuse blocks could vary from the those shown In the table. How-ever, since the order of the amp ratings is identical within any individual fuse block, you will still be able to identify the electrical consumers if this is the case.
The fuses for the camping equipment electrical consumers are located under the left front seat 214. Other vehicle parts will have to be re-moved in order to gain access to the fuse box. If you are unsure, have the fuses changed by a qualified workshop.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

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

When a vehicle key is not valid or there is a fault in the system, this will be displayed in the Instrument cluster. The engine cannot be started.
Push-starting or tow-starting
For technical reasons, your vehicle must not be push-started or tow-started. Use jump leads to start the engine instead.
Additional information and warnings:
• Vehicle key set =>page 36
• Changing gear =>page 260
• Braking, stopping and parking =>page 269
• Steering =>page 281

• Fuel =>page 343
• Manual opening and dosing =>page 413
• Jump starting =>page 443
• Tow-starting and towing =>page 446
A WARNING
Switching the engine off while the vehicle Is moving makes it more difficult to stop the ve-hicle. This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and to accidents and severe Injuries.
• Braking and steering support systems, the alrbag system, the belt tens loners and other items of safety equipment in the vehicle are only active when the engine is running.
A WARNING (Continued)
• The engine should only be switched off when the vehicle Is stationary.
A WARNING
The risk of serious Injury can be reduced with the engine running or when starting the en-glne.
• Never start or run the engine In unventlla-ted or closed spaces. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. it can also cause death.
• Never start or run the engine if oil, fuel or any other highly flammable fluids are under or near the vehicle, or are leaking out of the vehicle, e.g. as the result of damage.
• Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly if a gear or driving mode has been selected. The vehicle could move suddenly or something unexpec-ted may happen that may cause damage, fire and serious Injuries.
• Never use a start booster. Start boosters may explode and cause the engine to sud-denly run at high revs.
A WARNING
The components of the exhaust system be-come very hot. This can cause fires and sari-ous Injuries.
• Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come Into contact with Inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. undergrowth, leaves, dry grass, split fuel.
• Never apply additional undersea! or anti-corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, cat-a lytic converters or heat shields.

• Manual gearbox: remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock.
Starting the engine
A WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or Injuries.
• Always take all vehicle keys with you ev-ery time you leave the vehicle. The engine can be started and electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This can cause serious Injury.
• Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone In the vehicle. They could become trapped In the vehicle in an emergen-cy and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low tempera-tures, according to season. This can cause serious Injuries and Illness or fatalities, espe-cially for small children.
• Never remove the vehicle key from the ig-nition lock when the vehicle Is In motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.
m In vehicles with the DSG® dual clutch W gearbox the vehicle key can only be re-moved from the Ignition lock if the selector lever is in position P.
