c:r:n Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Sockets in the vehicle .......... . 164
Electrical equipment can be connected to the sock-ets in the vehicle.
The connected devices must be in good condition. Do not use faulty devices.
Additional information and warnings:
• Cigarette lighter 161
• Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts 394
• Consumer information 404
A WARNING
Improper use of the sockets and electrical ac-cessories can cause fires and severe injuries.
A WARNING
Improper use of the cigarette lighter can cause fires, burns and other serious injuries.
• 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.
m The cigarette lighter can also be used as a L!..J 12-volt socket 163. A WARNING (Continued)
• Never leave children in the vehicle unat-tended. Sockets and the devices connected to them can be used when the ignition is switched on.
• If the electrical device gets too hot, switch off the device immediately and disconnect it from the socket.
CD
• In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that gener-ates electricity, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the vehicle battery, to the 12-voit socket.
• Only use accessories that have been ap-proved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility. .,..
Practical equipment 163

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. .,.

A DANGER (Continued)
• 230-volt socket with inverter switch:
CD
-Do not plug adapters or extension ca-bles into the 230-volt socket. Otherwise the built-in child lock will disengage and power will be supplied to the socket.
• Observe the operating instructions for any device that you plug into the socket.
• Never exceed the maximum power rating as this could damage the whole vehicle electrical system.
• Only use accessories that have been ap-proved in accordance with valid guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
CD
• Never feed electricity Into the socket.
• Do not plug any heavy devices or connec-tions, such as mains adapters, directly Into the socket.
• Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the socket.
• 230-volt socket with inverter switch:
-Do not connect any lights which use neon tubes.
-With electrical devices that require a high level of current In the start phase, the built-In excess current switch will prevent the de-vice from being switched on. If this hap-pens, disconnect the device from the power supply and reconnect after waiting approxi-mately 10 seconds.
