WARNING

Improper use of the socket and electrical accessories can cause fires and other severe injuries.

Never leave children in the vehicle unattended. The socket and the devices connected to it 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.

NOTICE

In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that generates electricity, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the vehicle battery, to the 12-volt socket.

Only use accessories that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.

In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuation, always switch off any electrical consumers connected to the 12-volt socket before 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 electrical 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.

Do not leave the engine running when the vehicle is stationary.

Using electrical appliances with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the battery.

Unshielded devices can cause interference with radio reception and vehicle electronics.

Interference of AM radio reception could occur if electric devices are used in the vicinity of the rear window aerial.
