In the luggage compartment on the left side: 230-volt socket, 115-volt socket or 100-volt
socket.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings

Introduction
Maximum power rating
Electrical socket Maximum power rating
12 V
120 W
230, 115 or 100 V
150 W (300 W peak power)
If two or more devices are connected at the same time, the overall power consumption of all
connected electrical devices must never exceed 190 watts
⇒
.
The maximum power rating of the individual sockets should never be exceeded. The power rating
of each device is stated on its type plate.
230-volt socket, 115-volt socket, 100-volt socket
The socket is activated automatically as soon as a plug is connected when the engine is running. If
there is sufficient energy in the system, the socket can also be used when the engine is off
⇒
.
Connecting an electrical device:
fold open the cover and insert the plug all the way into the socket
to unlock the integrated child lock. Electricity will not flow until the child lock has been unlocked.
LEDs on the socket
Constant green light:
The child lock is disengaged. The socket is ready for use.
Flashing green light:
The ignition is switched off but there is sufficient energy available
to continue to supply the socket with power for up to 10 minutes.
If the plug is removed during this time, the socket switches off
and cannot be re-used until the ignition is switched on again.
Flashing red light:
A fault has occurred, for example cut-off due to excess current or
temperature.
Temperature switch-off
If a specific temperature is exceeded, the inverter of the 230-, 115- or 100-volt socket switches itself
off automatically. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the
power consumption is too high or if the ambient temperature is too high. The 230-, 115- or 100-volt
socket can be used again only after a cool-down phase.
The plug on the connected device must first be removed and then reinserted before using the 230-,
115- or 100-volt socket again after the cool-down phase. This prevents the electrical devices being
switched on again unintentionally.
