Electrical sockets In the tunnel console there are two 12 V electri- cal sockets and one 230 V electrical socket *, in
the cargo area there is one 12 V electricalsocket *.
For the sockets to supply current, the car's elec- trical system must be set in the lowest ignition position I. The sockets are then active as long as
the starter battery level does not become too low. If the engine is switched off and the car is locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the engine isswitched off and the car is not locked, or islocked with blocked lock position temporarilydeactivated, then the sockets continue to beactive for a further ten minutes.
NOTE
Remember that use of the electrical socket with the engine switched off entails a risk ofdischarging the starter battery, which can limitfunctionality.
230 V electrical socket *
230 V electrical socket in tunnel console, rear seat.
The socket can be used for various accessories requiring a 230 V supply, e.g. chargers and lap-top computers.
IMPORTANT
Maximum socket output is 150 W.
Using the socket
1. Pull down the socket cover and insert the
accessory's plug.
> The diode on the socket indicates its sta-tus.
2. Check that the diode is illuminated with a steady green light - only then is current avail- able at the socket. 3. Disconnect the accessory by pulling out the
plug - do not pull on the cable. Pull up the cover when the socket is not being used or the socket is left unattended.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use accessories with large or heavy connectors - they can damage thesocket or come loose when driving.
• Do not use accessories that can causeinterference to the car's radio receiver orelectrical system for example.
• Position the accessory so that it is not atrisk of injuring the driver or passengers inthe event of heavy braking or collision.
• Keep an eye on connected accessoriesas they can generate heat that can burnpassengers or the interior.
WARNING
•
Only use accessories that are undam- aged and fault-free. The accessoriesmust be rated for 230 V and 50 Hz withconnectors designed for the socket. Theaccessories must have a CE marking, ULmarking or an equivalent safety marking.
• Never allow sockets, connectors oraccessories to come into contact withwater or other liquids. Do not touch oruse the socket if it appears to be dam-

aged or has come into contact with water or other liquid.
• Do not connect junction sockets, adapt-ers or extension cables to the socket asthese can override the socket's safetyfeatures.
• The socket is equipped with a protectivecover, ensure that nothing protrudes in ordamages the socket preventing the coverfrom doing its job. Do not leave childrenin the car unsupervised when the socketis active.
Failure to follow the advice given above can lead to severe or fatal electric shocks.Status indication
A diode on the socket indicates its status:
Status indication Reason Action
Steady green light The socket is delivering current to a connected device. None.
Blinking orange light The temperature of the socket's voltage converter is too high (because for example the accessory draws too high a current or the passenger compart- ment is too warm). Remove the plug and let the voltage converter cooldown before reinserting the plug.
The connected accessory draws too much current (intermittently or contin-uously) or is defective. None. The accessory cannot be connected to thesocket.
