You can connect accessories to the perma-
nent power supply up to a maximum of 240 W.
You cannot charge a trailer battery using the
power supply.
When it leaves the factory, your vehicle's trailer
socket is equipped with a permanent power
supply and a power supply that is switched on
via the ignition lock.
The permanent power supply is supplied via
trailer socket pin 9.
The power supply which is activated when the
key is in position
2 in the ignition is supplied via
trailer socket pin 10.
The trailer's permanent power supply is
switched off when the vehicle's on-board volt-
age is low and at the latest after 6 hours.
You can find more information about installing
the trailer electrics at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Bulb failure indicator for LED lights
If the trailer is equipped with LED lights, the dis-
play may show a malfunction message for the
trailer lights.
The trailer lighting is identified as being faulty
even though it is in working order. The reason for
the malfunction message may be that the cur-
rent has fallen below the minimum of 50 mA.
To ensure reliable operation of the bulb failure
indicator, each LED chain in the trailer lighting
must be guaranteed a minimum current of
50 mA.
