Cigarette lighter, front*
Press in the cigarette lighter.
The cigarette lighter can be removed when it
pops back out.
Hold the hot cigarette lighter only by its
knob, otherwise you may suffer burns.
The cigarette lighter will still work even if the
remote control has been removed from the igni-
tion lock. To avoid the risk of injury, children
should therefore not be left unattended in the
car.<

Power socket

The cigarette lighter socket can also be used as
a power socket for a 12 V torch or car vacuum
cleaner etc. rated at up to approx. 200 W. Make
sure that the socket is not damaged by attempt-
ing to insert plugs of different shapes or sizes.
The socket is fitted with a detachable cap in
conjunction with the non-smoker package.
When the ignition is switched off, the
power supply to the socket is interrupted
after approx. 1 hour.<
