12 V sockets
General notes
X
Turn the key to position 1 in the ignition
lock (
Y
page 181).
The sockets can be used for accessories with
a maximum draw of 180 W (15 A). Accesso-
ries include such items as bulbs or chargers
for mobile phones.
If you use the sockets for long periods when
the engine is switched off, the battery may
discharge.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the on-
board voltage is too low, the power to the
sockets is automatically cut. This ensures
that there is sufficient power to start the
engine.
If you have connected a device to the 12 V
socket, leave the cover of the stowage com-
partment open. This prevents the cover from
being blocked.
