The electrical socket can be used for various
accessories designed for 12 V, e.g. display
screens, music players and mobile phones.
For the socket to supply current, the remote
control key must be in at least key position I
(p. 74).
WARNING
Always leave the plug in the socket when
the socket is not in use.
NOTE
Optional equipment and accessories - e.g.
display screens, music players and mobile
phones - which are connected to one of
the passenger compartment's 12V electri-
cal sockets, could be activated by the cli-
mate control system, even when the
remote control key has been removed or
when the car is locked, for example, when
the parking heater is activated at a preset
time.
For this reason remove the plugs from the
electrical sockets for optional equipment
or accessories when not in use because
the battery could be drained in the event of
such an occurrence!
IMPORTANT
Max. socket is 10 A (120 W) if one socket
is used at a time. If both sockets in the
tunnel console are used simultaneously,
7.5 A (90 W) per socket is applicable.
If the compressor for emergency puncture
repair is connected to one of the two sock-
ets, no other current consumer must be
connected to the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for emergency puncture
repair (p. 325) has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
