Interference with AM radio reception could occur if electrical devices are used in the vicinity
of the aerial.
Socket in the vehicle
Fig. 92 Front centre console: 12-volt socket in the stowage compartment
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Maximum power rating
Electrical socketMaximum power rating
12-volt120 watts
The maximum power rating of the sockets may not be exceeded. The power rating of each device
is stated on its type plate.
If two or more devices are connected at the same time, ensure that the overall power consumption
of all connected electrical devices never exceeds 190 watts ⇒.
12-volt socket
The 12-volt socket is located in the ashtray in the front centre console ⇒ Fig. 92 and works only
when the ignition is switched on.
Using electrical appliances with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the
battery. Electrical consumers should therefore only be plugged into the sockets when the engine is
running.
To prevent damage due to voltage fluctuation, switch off any connected devices before switching
the ignition or engine on or off.
Improper use of the socket and electrical accessories can cause fires and other severe
injuries.
•Never leave children in the vehicle unattended. The socket and the devices connected to it
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
generates electricity, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the vehicle
battery, to the 12-volt socket.
•Only use accessories 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
consumers connected to the 12-volt socket 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 electrical power to a 12-volt socket. The
vehicle's electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.

NOTICE
While driving

Ignition lock
Fig. 93 Vehicle key positions
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The steering lock can be activated when there is no vehicle key in the ignition lock.
Vehicle key positions ⇒ Fig. 93
Ignition switched off. The vehicle key can be removed.
Ignition switched on. The steering lock can be released.
Engine is started. Release the vehicle key as soon as the engine starts. Once released,
the vehicle key moves back to position ①.
If the vehicle key is left in the ignition for a long period with the engine switched off, the
vehicle battery could discharge.
Switching the engine off while the vehicle is moving makes it more difficult to stop the vehicle.
This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and to accidents and severe injuries.
•Braking and steering support systems, the airbag system, the belt tensioners and other
items of safety equipment in the vehicle are only active when the engine is running.
•The engine should only be switched off when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
The risk of serious injury can be reduced with the engine running or when starting the engine.
•Never start or run the engine in unventilated or closed spaces. The exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an odourless and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
loss of consciousness and death.
•Never leave the engine running if you leave the vehicle unattended. The vehicle could
move suddenly or something unexpected may happen that may cause damage and
serious injuries.
•Never use a start booster. A start booster can explode and cause the engine to suddenly
run at high revs.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious
injuries.
•Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come into contact with
inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. leaves, dry grass, spilt fuel.
•Never apply additional underseal or anti-corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, catalytic
converters or heat shields.
WARNING
Always take care when using the vehicle key as you could cause accidents or serious injuries.
•Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The engine can be
started and electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This can
cause serious injury.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could
become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to
safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low
temperatures, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or
fatalities, especially for small children.
•Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The
steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.
