Transport -> Sockets for Your Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

3. Fold the centre armrest upwards in the opposite direction of the arrow and push it into the backrest as far as it will go → Fig. 1.  
Do not use the middle seat on the rear bench seat to transport passengers when the centre armrest is folded down.  
Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.  
The 12-volt socket will work only when the ignition is switched on.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the sockets and connected electrical accessories can cause fires and serious or fatal injuries.  
Switch off electrical devices immediately and disconnect them from the power supply if the electrical devices become too warm.  
Please note that sockets and devices connected to them can also be used when the ignition is switched off, e.g. by children in the  
vehicle.  
NOTICE  
Unsuitable, non-approved or incorrectly connected electrical devices can cause damage to the vehicle and the electronic  
components.  
Never connect electrical devices that supply electric power, such as solar panels or a battery charger, to the 12-volt socket to  
charge the 12-volt vehicle battery.  
Use only electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic  
compatibility.  
Do not use faulty devices.  
In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations, always switch off any electrical devices before switching the ignition on or  
off and before starting the engine.  
Observe the operating instructions of the electrical devices.  
NOTICE  
The vehicle’s electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.  
Never connect electrical devices requiring more than the rated power to a 12-volt socket.  
Using electrical consumers with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the 12-volt battery.  
With some equipment levels, unshielded devices can cause interference with the Infotainment system and vehicle electronics.  
The maximum power of the sockets must not be exceeded. The power consumption of the external devices is specified on their type  
plates.  
12-volt socket  
In the storage compartment in the centre console under the  
centre armrest, on the right-hand side of the luggage compartment  
or on the left-hand side of the luggage compartment: fold-open  
12-volt socket (illustration).  
The continuous power of all 12-volt sockets in the vehicle is 120 W in total (→ Sockets).  
The maximum power of a 12-volt socket in the vehicle is a total of 180 W when the engine is running.  
NOTICE  
The fuse can blow as a result of extended operation of the 12-volt sockets at maximum power.  
Never use the 12-volt sockets at maximum power for longer than 10 minutes.  
Always use only one 12-volt socket with maximum power.  
NOTICE  
If two or more 12-volt sockets are used simultaneously, the total power consumption of the connected electrical devices must not  
exceed 190 W. This can cause the fuse to blow.  
Always use only one 12-volt socket with maximum power.  
230-volt socket  
In the luggage compartment on the right-hand side: 230-volt  
socket (illustration).  
The maximum power is 150 W (300 W peak power).  
The socket is activated automatically as soon as a plug is inserted when the engine is running. If there is sufficient energy available, the  
socket can also still be used when the engine is switched off.  
Connecting an electrical device  
1. In order to release the child socket protection, open the cover if necessary and plug the plug into the socket as far as it will go.  
Electricity will not flow until the child socket protection has been unlocked.  
Temperature switch-off  
The inverter in the 230-volt socket will switch itself 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 cannot be used again until after the cool-down phase.  
The plug on the connected device must first be removed and then reinserted before using the 230-volt socket again after the cooling  
phase. This prevents the electrical devices being switched on again unintentionally.  
DANGER  
Contact with the high voltage in the electrical system, e.g. sockets, can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.  
Do not spill any liquids over the sockets.  
Do not plug any adapters, power strips, multiple adapters or extension cables into the 230-volt socket.  
Never insert any items made of conductive materials, e.g. a screwdriver, into the contacts of the 230-volt socket.  
Do not use faulty devices with the 230-volt socket.  
Disconnect devices from the 230-volt socket if a fault occurs.  
NOTICE  
The vehicle sockets can be damaged if they are not used correctly. This can result in damage to the electronics and vehicle.  
Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the socket.  
Do not plug any very heavy devices or plugs, such as mains adapters, directly into the socket.  
If devices with a high starting current are prevented from being switched on, this may be due to the integrated overcurrent  
cut-out function. In this case, disconnect the power supply from the electrical device and connect again after waiting  
approximately 10 seconds.  
Functional restrictions may occur with some devices when they are connected to the 230-volt socket due to the lower power  
output (wattage).  
Mobile devices can be charged in the vehicle either via the installed USB-C connections or wirelessly.  
Charging via the USB-C ports  
The following USB-C ports may be available in the vehicle:  
Identification of a USB connection for data transfer and charging.  
Identification of a USB connection suitable only for charging.  
Available charging capacity  
Voltages of up to 20 V are made available via the USB port. These voltages permit a charging capacity of up to 45 W.  
Depending on equipment, the following charging profiles can be supported by the USB connections:  
Legacy charging (2.5 W).
