CD
• In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuation, always switch any electrical con-sumers connected to the 12-volt sockets off be-fore switching the ignition or the engine on or off. When the start/stop system automatically switches off and restarts the engine, it Is not necessary to switch off any connected electri-cal consumers.
• Never connect electrical devices requiring more electrical power to a 12-volt socket. The vehicle's electrical system can be damaged If the maximum power output Is exceeded.
• Never feed electricity Into the socket.
Sockets in the vehicle
rT'n First read and observe the Introductory L-lo:J.I information and safety warnings&. on page 163.
There are two separate power circuits in the vehi-cle depending on the equipment:
• 12-volt DC circuit
• 230-volt AC circuit
Maximum power rating
Electrical Maximum power rating socket
12-volt 120 watts
230-volt 2500 watts
Do not exceed the maximum power rating. This al-so applies to the total power consumption of all connected devices if you connect several devices at the same time Introduction on page 163. The power rating of each device is stated on its type plate.
12-volt socket
Electrical equipment can be connected to the 12-volt sockets in the vehicle.
Using electrical appliances with the engine switch-ed off and the ignition switched on will drain the battery. Electrical consumers should therefore only be plugged into the sockets when the engine is running.
To prevent damage due to voltage fluctuation, switch off any connected devices before switching the ignition or engine on or off.
In the vehicle, there are 12-volt sockets in the fol-lowing locations, among others:
164 I Before the journey
Do not leave the engine running when the ve-l?1S hicle is stationary.
m Using electrical appliances with the engine L!..J switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the battery.
m Unshielded devices can cause interference L!..J with radio reception and vehicle electronics.
m Functional problems may occur with some L!..J devices when they are connected to the 230-volt socket due to the lower power output (wat-tage). • In the dash panel.
• In the stowage compartment on the dash panel under a small cover.
• In the stowage compartment in the dash panel.
• In the side trim panels in the passenger com-partment
• In the luggage compartment.
• In the roof frame of the pop-up roof.
230-volt grounded safety socket
The 230-volt grounded safety socket is supplied via electrical feed from the external socket 192.
The following electrical consumers are supplied from the 230-volt power supply via the external socket:
• Battery charger
• Depending on the vehicle equipment, the 230-volt grounded safety socket is located in the side trim panel behind the left front seat or on the side of the kitchen unit 192.
230-volt Euro socket
The 230-volt Euro socket is supplied via additional batteries or via an inverter and is located in the side trim panel behind the left front seat 192.
A DANGER !
High voltage In the electrical system!
• Never pour any liquid over the socket.
• Do not Insert any Items which will conduct electricity, such as knitting needles, Into the contacts of the 230-volt socket. .,.

• To open, press the drink holder® in until it opens automatically.
• To close, push the drink holder shut, making sure that it closes completely &.
A WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the vehi-cle interior In the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre. This can cause serious injury and can also lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
• Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
A WARNING
Improper use of the ashtray and cigarette lighter could cause fires, burns and other se-rious Injuries.
• Never put paper or any other combustible materials in the ashtray.
• Always use the cigarette lighter properly, and only use it to light tobacco products.
• Never leave children in the vehicle unat-tended. The cigarette lighter can be used when the Ignition is switched on. r-Y"'n First read and observe the Introductory L-W.I information and safety warnings & on page 182.
The refrigerator box is located in the centre con-sole of the 2-seat arrangement.
The refrigerator box works independently of the engine and the ignition. lt is fed exclusively by the additional battery.
As far as possible, keep food and drinks in the re-frigerator box in leak-proof containers. Do not over-fill the refrigerator box such that air circulation is impaired. .,.

Switching on the refrigerator box
• Slide the cover open =>Fig. 149 (D.
• Move switch =>Fig. 150 CD to I position. When the refrigerator box is switched on, the lamp in the box lights up.
• Fill the refrigerator box and then close the lid =>&.
Switching off the refrigerator box
• Slide the cover open =>Fig. 149 (D.
• Move switch =>Fig. 150 CD to 0 position. The in-dicator lamp in the refrigerator box goes out.
• Close the cover.
Notes on cleaning and care
Clean the refrigerator box thoroughly before using it for the first time, if it is dirty or if it has not been used for a long time.
To avoid stains and mildew in the refrigerator box if it remains unused for a long time, leave the cover slightly open.
• Use water and normal household cleaning fluid to clean the refrigerator box.
• The refrigerator box should be defrosted regu-larly to prevent layers of ice forming. To do this, switch the refrigerator box off and leave the cover open. Do not use an additional heat source to de-frost the refrigerator more quickly. This could dam-age the refrigerator => Battery monitor
If the refrigerator box is left on when the engine is not running, the additional battery runs down. The refrigerator box is therefore fitted with a battery monitor. The battery monitor will switch the refriger-ated box off if the charge of the additional battery becomes too low. The battery monitor will switch the refrigerator box on again as soon as the addi-tional battery has reached a suitable charge level, for example, after a long journey.
