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
