Never leave children in the vehicle unattended. Sockets and the devices connected to them can be used when the ignition is switched on.

If the electrical device gets too hot, switch the device off immediately and disconnect it from the socket.

NOTICE

In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment which generates electricity, such as solar panels or battery charging units for charging the vehicle battery, to the 12-volt socket.

Only use accessories that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.

In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuation, always switch off any electrical consumers connected to the 12-volt sockets before switching the ignition or engine on or off.

Never connect electrical devices requiring more electrical power to a 12-volt socket. The electrical system of the vehicle could be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.

Do not leave the engine running when the vehicle is stationary.

Using electrical appliances with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the battery.

Unshielded devices can cause interference with radio reception and vehicle electronics.

Interference of AM radio reception may occur if electrical devices are used in the vicinity of the side window aerial.
