Instruments and controls89
Depending on vehicle, an additional
outlet may be located in the rear of the
vehicle.
A further additional outlet may be
located alongside the outer edge of
the bench seat.
Connecting electrical accessories while the engine is off will discharge
the vehicle battery. Do not exceed the
maximum power consumption of
120 W.9 Danger
To avoid the risk of fire, if multiple
power outlets are used
simultaneously, the total power
consumption of connected
accessories must not exceed
180 W.
With ignition off the power outlet may
be deactivated.
Additionally, the power outlet may be
deactivated in case of low battery
voltage.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in
DIN VDE 40 839.
Caution
Do not connect any current- delivering accessories, e.g.
electrical charging devices or
batteries.
Do not damage the outlets by
using unsuitable plugs.
USB socket
In the Infotainment unit (or on the
instrument panel) there is a USB
socket M for the connection of external
audio sources and for charging
devices.
92Instruments and controlsTachometer
Displays the engine speed.
Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.
Caution
If the needle is in the yellow

Note
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
five litres) to ensure accurate
readings.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
AdBlue level indicator
The current AdBlue percentage
remaining can be shown in the Driver
Information Centre 3 102.
