sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehic\
le. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.
Only connect accessories with a maximum power of 65 watts. Fire hazard. When several accessory sockets are used
at the same time, the total power of the connected accessories must not \
exceed 65 watts.
No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by approved Dealers: an incorrect\
ly connected
system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and\
/or the components connected to it.
