115 Volt socket
Your vehicle may have a 115 Volt socket, which can only be used if the engine is running ⇒ .
Connecting an electrical device: Insert the plug as far as it goes into the socket in order to unlock the integrated child-proof lock. There is electricity in the socket only after the child-proof lock is unlocked.

LED display on the socket ⇒ fig. 130
Green continuous light: The child-proof lock is unlocked. The socket is operational.
Red flashing light: Malfunction such as over-current or overheating cutoff
Temperature shutoff
The inverter in the 115 Volt socket shuts off automatically above a certain temperature. The shutoff prevents overheating in case of excessive power consumption of connected devices or at high ambient air temperatures. The inverter switches back on automatically after a cool-down period. Connected devices which were left switched on come back on again. For this reason, switch off connected electrical devices if the inverter switches off due to overheating.
DANGER
High voltage in the electrical system!
x Never spill liquids on the socket. Improper use of a volt socket can cause electrical shock, burns, and other serious personal injuries.
x Do not connect adapters or extension cords to the 115 Volt socket. Otherwise, the integrated child-proof lock is switched off and the socket is live.
x Do not stick objects, such as knitting needles, into the contacts of the 115 Volt socket.
NOTICE
x Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connected devices!
x Never exceed the maximum power consumption, or the entire vehicle electrical system may be damaged.
x 12 Volt socket:
– Only use equipment that has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies with applicable guidelines.
– Never feed current into the socket, with a solar panel, for example.
x 115 Volt socket:
– Do not connect devices or plugs which are too heavy, such as a grid power supply adapter or cord, directly onto the socket.
– Do not connect lamps containing neon tubes.
– Only connect devices to the socket whose voltage is consistent with the voltage of the socket.

– For devices with a high starting current, the integrated over-current shutoff will prevent them from being switched on.
Some devices may not work very well when connected to the 115 Volt socket due to low wattage.
Unshielded devices may interfere with radio reception or the vehicle's electrical system.
Applicable only in the United States
