When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take
the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system, or with access to an
unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised
access to a vehicle

could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. The children
could:
R injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
R be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or cold
R injure themselves or cause an accident with
vehicle equipment that can be operated
even if the SmartKey is removed from the
ignition lock or removed from the vehicle,
such as seat adjustment, steering wheel
adjustment, or the memory function If children open a door, they could injure other
persons or get out of the vehicle and injure
themselves or be injured by following traffic.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system's
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and the child could be burned on these
parts.
G

Never touch the heating element or sides of
the lighter; they are extremely hot. Hold the
knob only.
Make sure any children traveling with you do
not injure themselves or start a fire with the
hot cigarette lighter.

can be used for accessories (up to a
maximum of 180 W), as long as they have
the standard socket type for cigarette
lighters.

in the cigarette lighter
can be damaged when connecting
accessories, for example by:
R frequent insertion and removal
R sockets that do not fit correctly
A damaged socket can cause the cigarette
lighter to stop working. X

General notes !
If you are simultaneously using all three
sockets in the vehicle, make sure that you
do not exceed the maximum current draw
of 45 A. Otherwise, you will overload the
fuses.
The sockets can be
used for accessories with
a maximum current draw of 180 W (15 A), e.g.
lamps or chargers for mobile phones.
If you use the sockets for long periods when
the engine is switched off, the battery may
discharge.

WARNING
The 115 V AC power socket operates on high
voltage. Use the 115 V AC power socket in
the vehicle with the same caution and care
that you would take with power sockets at
home. Keep fluids away from the 115 V AC
power socket. Do not use liquids or sharp
tools to clean the power socket. Keep the
cover of the 115 V AC power socket closed Features

when not in use. Otherwise, you could suffer
an electric shock and be seriously or even
fatally injured.
G
WARNING
Any device that you connect must have a
suitable plug and meet
U.S. standards. Never
pull at a cable to disconnect a plug from a
115 V AC power socket. Never use a damaged
connection cable. The 115 V AC power socket
must never be connected to another 115 V
AC power source. Do not use a converter with
an earthed plug for the 115 V AC power
socket. This could cause serious injury to you
and/or other people. G
WARNING
If the 115 V AC power socket is damaged or
pulled out of the

trim, do not use or touch the
115 V AC power socket. The use of a 115 V
AC power socket that has been damaged or
pulled out of the trim could cause serious
injury to you or others. 115 V power socket
0043 provides an AC
voltage of 115 V so that small electronic
devices can be connected. These devices,
such as games consoles, chargers and
laptops, should not consume more than a
maximum of 150 W altogether. Requirements for operation of these devices:
R
the 12 V sockets in the rear compartment
and the cargo compartment are
operational ( Y page 271).
R the plug of
the

electronic device is plugged
into 115 V power socket 0043.
R the on-board power supply is within a
permissible voltage range.
R the electronic device's maximum power
output does not exceed 150 W.
X Open flap 0087.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Insert the plug of the electronic device into
115 V power socket 0043.
Indicator lamp 0044 lights up.
If indicator lamp 0044 does not light up,
please read the section on malfunctions.
X To turn off: disconnect the plug from
115 V power socket 0043.
Ensure that you do not pull on the cord.
X Close flap 0087.
Possible causes of malfunctions:
R the on-board power supply is not within a
permissible voltage range.
R the temperature of
the

DC/AC converter is
temporarily too high.
R some small electronic devices have a
constant nominal power of less than
150 W, but a very high switch-on current.
In that case, there is a possibility that these
devices will not function properly as 115 V
socket 0043 is not able to provide a high
enough current.
X If indicator lamp 0044 still does not light up,
contact a qualified specialist workshop. mbrace
