WARNING
The 115 V AC power socket operates on high
voltage. Use the 115 V AC power socket in
the vehicle with the same caution and care
that you would take with power sockets at
home. Keep fluids away from the 115 V AC
power socket. Do not use liquids or sharp
tools to clean the power socket. Keep the
cover of the 115 V AC power socket closed when not in use. Otherwise, you could
suffer
an electric shock and be seriously or even
fatally injured.
WARNING
Any device that you connect must have a
suitable plug and meet U.S. standards. Never
pull at a cable to disconnect a plug from a
115 V AC power socket. Never use a damaged
connection cable. The 115 V AC power socket
must never be connected to another 115 V
AC power source. Do not use a converter with
an earthed plug for the 115 V AC power
socket. This could cause serious injury to you
and/or other people.
WARNING
If the 115 V AC power socket is damaged or
pulled out of the trim, do not use or touch the
115 V AC power socket. The use of a 115 V
AC power socket that has been damaged or
pulled out of the trim could cause serious
injury to you or others.
115 V power socket 1 provides an AC voltage of 115 V so that small electronic devices can be connected. These devices, such as games consoles, chargers and laptops, should not consume more than a maximum of 150 W altogether.
Requirements for operation of these devices: • the 12 V sockets in the rear compartment and the cargo compartment are operational .
• the plug of the electronic device is plugged into 115 V power socket 1.
• the on-board power supply is within a permissible voltage range.
• the electronic device's maximum power output does not exceed 150 W.
► Open flap 3.
► Switch on the ignition.
► Insert the plug of the electronic device into 115 V power socket 1.
Indicator lamp 2 lights up.
If indicator lamp 2 does not light up, please read the section on malfunctions.
► To turn off: disconnect the plug from 115 V power socket 1.
Ensure that you do not pull on the cord.
► Close flap 3.
Possible causes of malfunctions: • the on-board power supply is not within a permissible voltage range.
• the temperature of the DC/AC converter is temporarily too high.
• some small electronic devices have a constant nominal power of less than 150 W, but a very high switch-on current.
In that case, there is a possibility that these devices will not function properly as 115 V socket 1 is not able to provide a high enough current.
► If indicator lamp 2 still does not light up, contact a qualified specialist workshop.
