12 volt socket in luggage compartment
97
230-volt socket in the rear centre console
97WARNING■ Do not place anything on the dashboard. These objects might slide or fall
down when driving and may distract you from concentrating on the traffic –
risk of accident!■
Make sure that while driving no objects can enter the driver's footwell -
cause an accident!
■
Safely stow all devices during the journey to prevent them from being
thrown around the interior in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or
an accident – risk of death!
■
The devices may warm up during operation – risk of injury or fire!
■
Improper use of the power sockets and the electrical accessories can
cause fires, burns and other serious injuries.
■
The 12-Volt sockets also work if the ignition is switched off. When leaving
the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
When using the 12 volt power outlets the following notes are to be observed.■The sockets can only be used for the connection of approved electrical ac-
cessories with a total power consumption of up to 120 watts, otherwise the
electrical system of the vehicle may be damaged.■
Connecting appliances when the engine is not running will drain the battery
of the vehicle!
■
Before switching the ignition on / off or before starting the engine, switch
off the devices which are connected to the sockets - there is a risk of damage
to the equipment due to voltage fluctuations.
