The cigarette lighter socket can be used for
accessories with a maximum power consump-
tion of 180 W (15 A).
If you use the sockets to connect accessories
for long periods when the engine is switched off,
the starter battery may discharge. An emer-
gency cut-off ensures that the on-board voltage
does not drop too low. If the on-board voltage is
too low, power to the socket is automatically
cut. This ensures that there is sufficient power
to start the engine.

Socket on the centre console (example: vehicle
with a stowage compartment under the centre
console)
When the key is turned to position 1 in the igni-
tion lock, the sockets can be used for accesso-
ries with a maximum power consumption of
180 W (15 A).
If you use the sockets for long periods when the
engine is switched off, the starter battery may
discharge. If the on-board voltage is too low, it
might then no longer be possible to start the
engine.
The socket in the centre console and the socket
in the side of the luggage compartment are not
automatically deactivated if the on-board volt-
age is low. The additional sockets in the rear
compartment are automatically deactivated if
the on-board voltage is low.
Additional 12 V sockets may be located in the
corner trim next to the tailgate and in the side
trim on the left and right-hand sides.
