Practical equipment -> Sockets for Your Volkswagen E Golf 4 Door Second Generation (2017-2020)

Sockets  
Introduction to the topic  
Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.  
The electrical devices must be in good condition. Do not use faulty devices.  
The 12-volt socket will work only when the ignition is switched on.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the sockets and electrical accessories can cause fires and severe injuries.  
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. Sockets and the devices connected to them  
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 supplies  
electric power, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the 12-volt battery, to  
the 12-volt socket.  
Use only electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines  
concerning electromagnetic compatibility.  
In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations, always switch off any electrical  
devices before switching the ignition on or off and before activating the hybrid drive.  
Never connect electrical devices requiring more than the rated power to a 12-volt socket.  
The vehicle's electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.  
Observe the operating instructions of the electrical devices.  
Using electrical consumers with the electric drive activated and the ignition switched on  
will drain the 12-volt vehicle battery.  
Unshielded devices can cause interference with radio reception and vehicle electronics.
