Operation
Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
come with the cr ossbars and the r
oof carri-
er system carefully and keep them in the
vehicle. Loading the roof carrier system
The load can only be secured if the crossbars
and the r
oof carrier syst
em are properly in-
stalled ››› .
Maximum authorised car go on the r
oof
The maximum permissible roof load is 50 kg.
This figure comes from the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the cross bars and the load
itself on the roof ››› .
Al w
ays check the weight of the roof carrier
system, the cross bars and the weight of the
load to be transported and weigh them if
necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-
thorised roof load.
If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier
with a lower weight rating, you will not be
able to carry the maximum authorised roof
load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is
listed in the fitting instructions. Distributing a load
Distribute l
oads uniformly and secure them
correctly ››› .
Check att achments
Once the cr
oss bars and roof carrier system
have been installed, check the bolted con-
nections and attachments after a short jour-
ney and subsequently with a certain frequen-
cy. WARNING

Operation
USB power sockets
Depending on the equipment and the coun-
try, the v ehicl
e may also have USB connec-
tions exclusively for charging or as a power
socket.
These USB ports are located at the rear of
the console, between the front seats . These
connectors can work at a maximum power of
up to 10.5 W per port.
They are not intended for file playback.
230 volt power socket*
With the engine running, the power socket
››› Fig. 148 activates automatically as soon
as a connector is plugged in. If there is
enough power available, the socket can still
be used while the engine is off ››› Connect an electrical device: Open the co
v-
er and insert the plug int
o the power socket
as far as possible to unlock the built-in child
lock. The socket only supplies power once
the child lock is unlocked. LED on the power socket
Steady green
light: The childproof lock is unlocked.
The sock
et is r
eady to operate. LED on the power socket
Flashing green
light: The ignition is switched off, but
ther
e is enough po
wer available
to continue supplying the socket
with current for a maximum of 10
minutes. If the connector is un-
plugged before this time elap-
ses, the socket is disconnected
and cannot be used again until
the ignition is switched on again.
Flashing red
light: There is an anomaly, e.g. dis-
connection due t
o a curr
ent
surge or overheating. Disconnection due to overheating
When the t
emper
ature exceeds a certain val-
ue, the 230 volt socket inverter is automati-
cally disconnected. The disconnection pre-
vents overheating when the power consump-
tion of the connected devices is excessive or
the ambient temperature is very high. The
230-volt power supply can be used once
again after a cooling time. First unplug the
connector of the connected device and then
plug it back in again. This prevents the elec-
trical device from being switched on again if
this is not wanted. WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage!
