accessories with a maximum power consump-
tion of 180 W (15 A).
If you use the sockets to connect accessories
for long periods when the engine is switched off,
the starter battery may discharge. An emer-
gency cut-off ensures that the on-board voltage
does not drop too low. If the on-board voltage is
too low, power to the socket is automatically
cut. This ensures that there is sufficient power
to start the engine.

WARNING
Operating mobile information systems and
communication devices while driving will dis-
tract you from traffic conditions. In addition,
you could then lose control of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices when the vehicle
is stationary.
Observe the legal requirements for the country
in which you are currently driving when operat-
ing mobile communication equipment.
Please remember, a navigation system does not
supply information on the load-bearing capacity
of bridges or the overhead clearance of under-
passes. The driver remains responsible for
safety at all times.
You and others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By using
an exterior antenna, a possible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken into account. Only
have the exterior antenna installed by a qualified
specialist workshop.
Failure to observe the Mercedes-Benz installa-
tion specifications can result in the invalidation
of your vehicle's operating permit.
You will find information on retrofitting electrical
or electronic equipment under "Vehicle elec-
tronics" ( page 295).
