12 V socket
You can use the 12 V socket to power various electrical devices, such as a cool box.
The 12 V electrical socket is on the left-hand in the trunk.
The vehicle turns off power to the outlet automatically when you leave the vehicle. If you leave the vehicle unlocked, the socket remains active for a while longer.
Tip
If you would like to keep the 12 V socket active while parked, read about keeping climate active while parked in this manual. When this function is on, the 12 V outlet will continue to provide power even if the vehicle is locked.
Always disconnect devices from the outlet and close the cover when not in use.
Some devices may become hot when charged through the 12 V socket. This is normal for many devices.
