Always keep the armrest folded up when the vehicle is moving to reduce the risk of injury.
Never let anybody, especially children, ride on the rear center armrest or in the center position on the rear seat when the armrest is folded down. An
improper seating position can increase the risk of serious injury in a crash.
Some cup holder designs allow you to adjust to the size of the cup by turning the inserts 180 degrees.

Introduction to the subject
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:
⇒ 12 Volt sockets in the vehicleꢀ
Electrical devices can be connected to the vehicle 12 Volt sockets.
The connected devices must be in good working order.
WARNING
Improper use of electrical sockets and electrical devices may start a fire and cause severe personal injury.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Sockets and connected devices can be used when the ignition is switched on.
If the connected device gets warm, immediately switch it off and disconnect the power supply.
NOTE
To help prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect any accessories such as a solar panel or vehicle battery charger to a 12 Volt socket.
Only use accessories which have been tested for electromagnetic compatibility with a motor vehicle.
To help prevent damage from voltage fluctuations, switch off all electrical consumers connected to the 12 Volt socket before switching the ignition on or off
or starting the engine.
Never connect devices to a 12 Volt socket that draw more than the maximum wattage the socket can supply. Drawing too much power can damage the
vehicle electrical system.
Please turn off the engine when you stop for any length of time.
The vehicle battery will drain if you use electrical equipment when the engine is not running.
Unshielded devices may interfere with radio reception or the vehicle's electrical system.
Operating electrical devices near the windshield-integrated antenna may interfere with AM radio reception.
