WARNING

Loose or unsecured objects can cause seri-

ous injury in case of sudden manoeuvring

or braking or in case of an accident. Partic-

lock the vehicle, make sure that there are

no adults or children in the vehicle.

Both the carrying capacity as well as the

distribution of the load in the vehicle have

effects on the driving behaviour and brak-

driving behaviour of the vehicle varies due

to the displacement of the centre of gravi-

Place the objects in the cabin in such a

way that they can never reach the airbag

before the rear axle and as far away from it

as possible.

Straps for securing the load to the fastening

rings are commercially available from ac-

cessory shops.

●

Place the objects in such a way that they

never force any occupant of the vehicle to

sit in an incorrect position.

●

Objects in the luggage compartment that

are unsecured could move suddenly and

modify the handling of the vehicle.

●

When transporting objects that take up a

seat, never let anyone use that seat.

Adapt your speed and driving style at all

times to suit visibility, weather, road and

traffic conditions.

●

Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.

Adapt your speed and driving style at all

times to suit visibility, weather, road and

CAUTION

●

Remove the cross bars and the roof carri-

●

Vehicle height is increased by the instal-

WARNING

Make sure that the maximum power con-

sumption displayed on each outlet is not ex-

ceeded. The power consumption of devices

is shown on the model plate.

The power socket works only when the ig-

nition is on. Improper use may cause seri-

ous injury or even fire. Children should

therefore not be left in the vehicle unatten-

ded if the button is also left behind. Other-

wise there is a possibility that they may be

injured.

There is an anomaly, e.g. discon-

nection due to a current surge or

overheating.

Flashing red light:

When connecting two or more electrical de-

vices at the same time, make sure that their

total consumption never exceeds 190 watts

Disconnection due to overheating

When the temperature exceeds a certain

value, the 230 volt socket inverter is auto-

matically disconnected. The disconnection

prevents overheating when the power con-

sumption of the connected devices is exces-

sive or the ambient temperature is very high.

The 230-volt power supply can be used once

again after a cooling time. First unplug the

connector of the connected device and

then plug it back in again. This prevents the

electrical device from being switched on

again if this is not wanted.

a connector is plugged in. If there is enough

power available, the socket can still be used

while the engine is off

Do not leave devices or connectors that

are too heavy (e.g. a transformer)

hanging directly from the power sock-

et.

Connect an electrical device: Open the cov-

er and insert the plug into the power socket

as far as possible to unlock the built-in child

lock. The socket only supplies power once

the child lock is unlocked.

–

Do not connect neon lamps.

WARNING

Only connect devices to the socket if

the device and socket voltage match.
