⇒ Sockets in the vehicle
Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.
The electrical devices must be in good condition. Do not use faulty devices.
The 12-volt socket will work only when the ignition is switched on.
Using electrical consumers with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will
drain the 12-volt battery.
Unshielded devices can cause interference in the Infotainment system and vehicle
electronics.

•Always use the cigarette lighter properly, and only use it to light tobacco products.
•Never leave children in the vehicle unattended. The cigarette lighter can be used when
the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Improper use of the sockets and electrical accessories can cause fires and severe injuries.
•Never leave children in the vehicle unattended. Sockets and the devices connected to
them can be used when the ignition is switched on.
•If the electrical device gets too hot, switch off the device immediately and disconnect it
from the socket.
WARNING
•In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that
supplies electric power, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the 12-
volt battery, to the 12-volt socket.
•Only use electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current
guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
•In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuation, always switch off any electrical
devices before switching the ignition or the engine on or off. When the start/stop
system automatically switches off and restarts the engine, it is not necessary to switch
off any connected electrical consumers.
•Never connect electrical devices requiring more than the rated power to a 12-volt
socket. The vehicle's electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is
exceeded.
•Observe the operating instructions for any electrical device that you plug into the
socket.
