Operation
Power socket
Maximum power con-
sumption
230 Volts 150 watts (300 watt peaks)
Electrical equipment can be connected to
the 12 volt power socket.
Make sure that the maximum power con-
sumption displayed on each outlet is not ex-
ceeded. The power consumption of devices
is shown on the model plate.
When connecting two or more electrical de-
vices at the same time, make sure that their
total consumption never exceeds 190 watts

230 volt power socket*
With the engine running, the power socket

activates automatically as soon as
a connector is plugged in. If there is enough
power available, the socket can still be used
while the engine is off
›››
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.

light: The childproof lock is unlocked.
The socket is ready to operate.
LED on the power socket
Flashing green
light:
The ignition is switched off, but
there is enough power available
to continue supplying the socket
with current for a maximum of 10
minutes. If the connector is un-
plugged before this time elapses,
the socket is disconnected and
cannot be used again until the ig-
nition is switched on again.
Flashing red light:
There is an anomaly, e.g. discon-
nection due to a current surge or
overheating.
Disconnection due to overheating
When the temperature exceeds a certain
value, the 230 volt socket inverter is auto-
matically disconnected. The disconnection
prevents overheating when the power con-
sumption of the connected devices is exces-
sive 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
electrical 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 ig-
nition is on. Improper use may cause seri-
ous injury or even fire. Children should
therefore not be left in the vehicle unatten-
ded if the button is also left behind. Other-
wise there is a possibility that they may be
injured.
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
