Do not connect any lamps which use neon tubes.  
Do not connect any lamps which use neon tubes.  
Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the socket.  
With electrical devices that require a high level of current in the start phase, the built-in excess current switch  
will prevent the device from being switched on. If this happens, disconnect the power supply from the  
electrical equipment and reconnect after waiting approximately 10 seconds.  
Unshielded devices can cause interference in the Infotainment system and vehicle  
electronics.  
Functional problems may occur with some devices when they are connected to the 230-volt socket with  
earthing contact due to the lower power output (wattage).

1. To charge the small torch, hold the torch at the knurled wheel of the lens and insert it in the 12-volt socket.  
2. To switch the small torch on and off, turn the thumb wheel on the lens.  
When travelling, always leave the torch plugged into the 12-volt socket→ Small torch.
