If you use all power outlets in the vehicle,
make sure that the maximum current drawn
does not exceed 55 A.
i
The power outlets can be used to
accommodate 12V DC electrical accessories
(e.g. air pump, auxiliary lamps) up to a maximum
of 240 W.
If the engine is off and the power outlets are
being used extensively, the vehicle battery may
become discharged.
i
You can use the power outlets in the cargo
compartment or in the second seat row even if
the ignition is switched off.
An emergency shut-off feature ensures that the
vehicle’s electrical voltage does not fall below a
minimum level. If the voltage drops to this mini-
mum level, the power outlets are automatically
switched off. This ensures that enough power
remains to start the engine.
i
If your vehicle is equipped with a smoking
package*, the storage compartment contains an
ashtray with cigarette lighter (

instead.
