WARNING
Improper use can lead to serious injury or fire. Therefore, when leaving
■
the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle.
Do not pour liquids into the power socket – risk of death! If fluid does
■
manage to get into the power socket, completely dry out the socket before
reuse.
Safely stow away all connected devices during the journey to prevent
■
them from being thrown around the interior in the event of a sudden brak-
ing manoeuvre or an accident – risk of death!
The connected devices may warm up during operation – risk of injury or
■
fire! If the device becomes too hot, switch it off and disconnect it from the
power supply immediately.
The child lock on the power socket is unlocked when using adapters and
■
extension cables which carry volts – risk of injury!
Do no insert any conductive objects into the contacts of the power sock-
■
et, e.g. knitting needs – risk of death!
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.
The socket is temporarily disabled at engine start-up and the indicator light
■
flashes red. After starting the engine, the power socket is re-activated auto-
matically.
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.
