12 Volt DC Power Point

WARNINGS

Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar

lighter can cause damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury.

Do not use a power point for
operating a cigar lighter. Incorrect
use of the power points can cause

damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in fire or serious
injury.

Note: After starting your vehicle, you can
use the socket to power 12-volt appliances
with a maximum current rating of 15 amps.

After you switch your vehicle off, the power
supply works only for a maximum of 11
minutes.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the outlet and can blow the fuse.

accessory plug.

Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watt or a
fuse may blow.

Note: Incorrect use of the power point can

valid passive key within 10 seconds.

SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRIC MOTOR

WARNING

Switching off the electric motor
when your vehicle is still moving will
result in a loss of brake and steering

assistance. The steering will not lock, but
higher effort will be required. With the
ignition switched off some electrical
circuits, warning lamps and indicators may
also be off. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.

When your vehicle is not moving and the
electric motor is on or the power is in
accessory mode, press and release the
power button without pressing the brake
pedal. This will shut off the electric motor
and all electrical accessories.
