If LED lamps are fitted in the trailer, an error
message may appear in the multifunction dis-
play even if there is no fault. The reason for
the error message may be that the current
has fallen below the minimum of 50 mA.
To ensure reliable operation of the bulb failure indicator, each LED chain in the trailer lighting
must be guaranteed a minimum current of
50 mA. Trailer with 7-pin connector

General notes X
Turn the key to position 1in the ignition
lock (Y page 185).
The sockets can be used for accessories with a maximum draw of 180 W(15 A). Accesso-
ries include such items as bulbs or chargers
for mobile phones.
If you use the sockets for long periods when
the engine is switched off, the battery may
discharge.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the on-
board voltage is too low, the power to the
sockets is automatically cut. This ensures
that there is sufficient power to start the
engine.
If you have connected a device to the 12 V
socket, leave the cover of the stowage com-
partment open. This prevents the cover from
being blocked. Socket in the front cent
