Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation

12 V sockets

In addition to the conventional cigarette lighter, a special 12 V socket is located in the large storage compartment in the centre console and an additional 12 V socket is installed on the side of the centre console in the front passenger footwell to enable the connection of additional electrical devices.

It is imperative to use these sockets instead of the cigarette lighter when using additional electrical devices.







NOTE: Important note on the use of additional electrical devices (12V loads which are normally operated via the cigar lighter): On the sports cars to date, the cigar lighter represented the only source of electric power for additional electrical devices. These foreign adapters may cause permanent deformation to the bimetal spring in the cigar lighter and may even trigger the internal fuse.
