Connect an electrical device: Open the cov-
er and insert the plug into the power socket
as far as possible to unlock the built-in child
lock. The socket only supplies power once
the child lock is unlocked.

Transport and practical equipment
Disconnection due to overheating
When the temperature exceeds a certain val-
ue, the 230 volt socket inverter is automati-
cally disconnected. The disconnection pre-
vents overheating when the power consump-
tion of the connected devices is excessive or
the ambient temperature is very high. The
230-volt power supply can be used once
again after a cooling time. First unplug the
connector of the connected device and then
plug it back in again. This prevents the elec-
trical device from being switched on again if
this is not wanted.
WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage!
Do not spill liquids onto the socket.
●
Do not plug adapters or extension cords
●
into the 230 volt power socket. Otherwise,
the integrated child lock will be unlocked
and the power socket will operate.
Do not insert conductive objects (a knit-
●
ting needle, for example) into the 230 volt
power socket.
WARNING
The power socket works only when the igni-
tion is on. Improper use may cause serious
injury or even fire. Children should there-
fore not be left in the vehicle unattended if
the button is also left behind. Otherwise
there is a possibility that they may be in-
jured.
CAUTION
Always use the correct type of plugs to
avoid damaging the sockets.
CAUTION
230 volt power socket:
●
Do not leave devices or connectors
–
that are too heavy (e.g. a transformer)
hanging directly from the power sock-
et.
Do not connect neon lamps.
–
Only connect devices to the socket if
–
the device and socket voltage match.
The built-in overload disconnect func-
–
tion prevents any electrical devices
that require a high start-up current
from turning on. In this case, unplug the
electrical device's power supply and
re-try the connection after about 10
seconds.
Note
The use of electrical appliances with the
●
engine switched off will cause a battery
discharge.
Should the connected appliance over-
●
heat, immediately switch it off and discon-
nect it from the socket.
