wheel change should, for example, stand
behind the barrier.

i Only operate the tire inflation compressor
using a 12 V socket, even if the ignition is
turned off (
Y page 342).
An emergency cut-out ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the
on-board voltage is too low, the power to
the sockets is automatically cut. This
ensures that there is sufficient power to
start the engine.
