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 electricalsocket *.
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 isswitched off and the car is not locked, or islocked with blocked lock position temporarilydeactivated, then the sockets continue to beactive for a further ten minutes.
NOTE
Remember that use of the electrical socket with the engine switched off entails a risk ofdischarging the starter battery, which can limitfunctionality.

Maximum socket output is 150 W.
Using the socket
1. Pull down the socket cover and insert the
accessory's plug.
> The diode on the socket indicates its sta-tus.
