Electrical sockets
In the tunnel console there are two 12 V electri-
cal sockets and one 230 V electrical socket
*
, in
the cargo area there is one 12 V electrical
socket
*
.
For the sockets to supply current, the car's elec-
trical system must be set in the lowest ignition
position
I . The sockets are then active as long as
the starter battery level does not become too low.
If the engine is switched off and the car is locked,
the sockets are deactivated. If the engine is
switched off and the car is not locked, or is
locked with blocked lock position temporarily
deactivated, then the sockets continue to be
active for a further ten minutes.
NOTE
Remember that use of the electrical socket
with the engine switched off entails a risk of
discharging the starter battery, which can limit
functionality.
Accessories that are connected to the electri-
cal sockets may be activated even when the
car's electrical system is disconnected or if
preconditioning is used. For this reason, dis-
connect the connectors when they are not in
use in order to avoid the starter battery being
discharged.
