Maximum power consumption
Socket Maximum power consumption
12 Volts 120 Watts
230 Volts 150 Watts (300 Watt peak)
The maximum capacity of each socket must not be exceeded. The power
consumption is indicated on the rating plate of each appliance.
Where two or more appliances are connected at the same time, the total
rating of all the connected devices must never exceed 190 Watts
12 volt socket
The 12 Volt socket will only work with the ignition on.
Using electrical appliances with the engine stopped and the ignition
switched on will drain the battery. Therefore, electrical consumers connected
to the socket must only be used when the engine is running.
To prevent voltage variations from causing damage, switch off the electrical
consumer connected to the 12 Volt socket before switching the ignition on or
off and before starting the engine.
12 Volt sockets can be found in the following locations in the vehicle:
Compartment in the centre of the centre console.
Compartment in the front centre console.
Storage compartment in the front central armrest.
Rear centre console
At the rear right of the luggage compartment.
230 Volt Euro socket*
The socket only works when the engine is running
Connecting an electrical appliance: Plug the appliance into the socket as far
as possible to unlock the built-in child safety device. The current only flows
when the child safety device is unlocked.

Heat protection
The 230 Volt Euro power connector converter switches off automatically when
.
a certain temperature is exceeded. This disconnection prevents overheating
in the event of an increase in power consumption of the connected appliance
and where the atmospheric temperature is too high. The converter will switch
on again automatically after it has cooled down. Appliances that are switched
on and connected to the socket will start up again. Therefore, switch off all
electrical appliances connected to the socket when the current converter
switches off due to overheating.
WARNING
High voltage in the electrical installation!
Liquids must not be spilt over the socket.
Do not insert adapters or extension cords into the 230 Volt Euro power
connector. Otherwise, the built-in child safety device will switch off and the
connector will become live.
Do not plug current conductors such as a knitting needle into the 230
Volt Euro power connector.
Caution
Always follow the operating instructions for the appliances to be
connected!
Never exceed the maximum power rating as this could damage the
vehicle's general electrical system.
Practical tips
Seats and storage compartments
The child safety device is unlocked. The
socket can now be used.
There is some kind of fault (e.g. discon-
nection due to excess current or tempera-
ture).
