CAUTION
The power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical acces-
■
sories with a two-pin 230V plug, with a total power uptake of up to 150 watt.
Place the connector on the electrical device into the power socket as far as it
■
can go to create a connection between the contacts.
If the connector of the electrical device is not inserted fully into the power
■
socket, the child safety lock might release, and the power socket be activated.
The electrical device is still not supplied with power.
To use the function in which the outlet is operational for about 10 minutes
■
after switching off the engine, a consumer must be connected to the power
outlet before stopping the engine.
Do not connect any lamps with neon filaments to the power socket - risk of
■
damaging the lamp.
A larger current surge may arise in some power supplies (e.g. for notebooks)
■
when connecting them to the power socket- this will automatically deactivate
the power socket. In this case, disconnect the power supply from the consum-
er and connect the power supply to the power socket first, followed by the
consumer.
The connected appliances may behave differently to when connected to the
■
mains.
