power socket
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 79.
Use
›
Fold out the lid on the power socket in the direction of the arrow » Fig. 76.
›
Connect the plug for the electrical appliance to the socket.
The 230-Volt power socket can only be used when the ignition is switched on »
.
When the plug on the electrical appliance is inserted into the power socket, the
child safety lock is released, and the power socket is activated.
LED display › Permanent green light: The power socket is activated.
› Flashing red light: The power socket is temporarily deactivated.
The power socket is deactivated automatically when the amperage is too high, the temperature is too high or the battery charge state is too low.
When the reasons for the deactivation no longer apply, the power socket will be
re-activated automatically. Then re-activate connected devices which are switch-
ed on »
.
WARNING■
The power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical ac-
cessories with a two-pin 230V plug, with a total power uptake of up to 150 watt.■
The power socket and the connected electrical devices only work if the igni-
tion is switched on!
■
Improper use can lead to serious injury or fire. Therefore never leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle – risk of injury!
■
Safely stow away all connected devices during the journey to prevent them
from being thrown around the interior in the event of a sudden braking ma- noeuvre or an accident – risk of death!
■
Do not pour liquids into the power socket – risk of death! If fluid does man-
age to get into the power socket, completely dry out the socket before reuse.
■
The connected appliances may behave differently to when connected to the
mains.
■
The connected devices may warm up during operation – risk of injury or fire!
■
The child lock on the 230 Volt power socket is unlocked when using ener-
gised adapters and extension cables – risk of injury!
■
Do no insert any conductive objects into the contacts of the power socket,
e.g. knitting needs – risk of death!
CAUTION
■ Place the connector on the electrical device into the power socket as far as it
can go to create a connection between the contacts.■
If the connector of the electrical device is not inserted fully into the power sock-
et, the child safety lock might release, and the power socket be activated. The
electrical device is nevertheless not connected.
■
The 230-volt power socket is temporarily disabled when the engine starts and
the LED flashes red. After starting the engine, the power socket is re-activated
automatically.
■
Do not connect any lamps with neon filaments to the 230 V power socket - risk
of damaging the lamp.
■
A larger current surge may arise in some power supplies (e.g. for notebooks)
when connecting them to a 230 V power socket- this will automatically deacti-
vate the power socket. In this case, disconnect the power supply from the con-
sumer and connect the power supply to the power socket first, followed by the
consumer.
■
Observe the operating instructions for the connected devices!

Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling char-
acteristics of your vehicle:
› Distribute loads as evenly as possible.›Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the nets
» page 92.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic en-
ergy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the ve-
hicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object with a
weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish auto-
matically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING■ Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the lash-
ing eyes.■
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case
of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
Please note that the handling properties of the vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as the centre of gravity can be displaced –
risk of accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving around,
always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached to the lash-
ing eyes.
■
The items carried in the luggage compartment must be stored in such a way
that no objects are able to slip forward if any sudden driving or braking ma-
noeuvres are undertaken – risk of injury!
