There is a malfunction such as a shutoff due to excess current or temperature.

Temperature switch-off

The inverter in the 230-volt socket with earthing contact will switch off automatically if the temperature exceeds a

specific value. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the power

consumption is too high or if the ambient temperature is too high. The 230-volt socket with earthing contact cannot

be used again until after the cool-down phase.

Before using the 230-volt socket again after the cool-down phase, first remove the plug of the connected equipment

and then reinsert it. This helps prevent the connected electrical devices being switched on accidentally.

DANGER

High voltage in the electrical system!

● Do not spill any liquids over the socket.

● Do not plug any adapters or extension cables into the 230-volt socket with earthing contact. Otherwise the built-

in child lock will disengage and power will be supplied to the socket.

● Never insert any items made of conducting materials, e.g. knitting needles, into the contacts of the 230-volt

socket with earthing contact.

NOTICE

Observe the operating instructions of the connected electrical devices!

● 12-volt socket:

● Never exceed the maximum power rating as this could damage the whole vehicle electrical system.

● Only use accessories that have been approved in accordance with valid guidelines concerning electromagnetic

compatibility.

● Never feed electricity into the socket.

● 230-volt socket with earthing contact:

● Do not plug any heavy-duty devices or connections, such as mains adapters, directly into the socket.

300

● 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).

Notes on the tachograph

Location

The factory-fitted tachograph is located in the stowage compartment in the centre armrest.

Time

To set the time, refer to the additional operating instructions for the tachograph.

Please note that in digital tachographs, the time must be displayed in local time. The time on the printouts is always

given in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Buffer battery

The digital tachograph has a buffer battery to prevent data loss. The buffer battery can supply power for approx. one

year without an external power supply. This function is used if, for example, the digital tachograph is removed from

the vehicle and stored or if left in a vehicle with a defective or flat 12-volt vehicle battery.

Legal requirements

By law, the tachograph must be used in:

—Vehicles whose gross vehicle weight rating, including trailer exceeds 3,500 kg, if the vehicle is used commercially

to transport goods. This is irrespective of whether the vehicle or the trailer or both are used for commercial

transportation of goods.

—Vehicles which are built and fitted for the purpose of carrying more than nine persons, including the driver.

Checking the tachograph

The tachograph must be checked by the manufacturer or an authorised workshop if any of the following occurs,

either in isolation or as a combination:

—If the tachograph is repaired.

—If you are not able to correct a problem yourself.

—If you have changed a wheel.

—At least every two years.
