12-volt socket
The sockets also work when the ignition is
switched o → .
Using elec
trical appliances with the engine
switched o and the ignition switched on
will drain the battery.
To avoid damage caused by voltage fluctu-
ations, switch o connected electrical
equipment before switching the ignition on
or o and before starting the engine.
12-volt sockets can be found in the follow-
ing locations in the vehicle:
— Stowage compartment in the dash panel
→ page 12.
— Centre console → page 13.
— In the luggage compartment or in front of
the third row of seats.
230-volt socket with earthing contact
The 230-volt socket with earthing contact
can be found in the following locations in
the vehicle → Fig. 144:
— On the partition between the passenger
area and luggage compartment.
— On the rear centre console.
The socket is activated automatically as
soon as a plug is connected when the en-
gine is running. If there is sucient energy in
the system, the socket can also be used
when the engine is o →

Constant green light
Flashing green light:
There is a malfunction
such a
s a shuto due to excess cur-
rent or temperature.
Temperature switch-o
The inverter in the 230-volt socket with
earthing contact will switch o automati-
cally if the temperature exceeds a specific
value. The switch-o function prevents the
connected device from overheating when
the power consumption is too high or if the
ambient temperature is too high. The 230-
volt socket with earthing contact cannot be
used again until aer the cool-down phase.
To use the 230-volt socket again aer the
cool-down phase, disconnect the plug of
a connected device and then plug it in
again. This helps prevent the connected
electrical devices being switched on acci-
dentally.
DANGER
High voltage in the electrical system!
·
Do not spill any liquids over the sockets.
·
Do not plug any a
dapters or extension
cables into the 230-volt socket with
earthing contact. Otherwise the built-in
child lock will disengage and power will
be supplied to the socket.
·
Never insert any items made of con-
ducting materials, e.g. knitting needles,
into the contacts of the 230-volt socket
with earthing contact.
NOTICE
