Hi there,
Can anyone advise the 2x 12V sockets in the car are they both operating independently or linked to the ignition?
Thanks
Ben

According to the manual:

For the sockets to supply current, the car's electrical system must be set in the lowest ignition position I. The sockets are then active as long as the starter battery level does not become too low.

If the engine is switched off and the car is locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the engine is switched off and the car is not locked, or is locked with double lock temporarily deactivated, then the sockets continue to be active for a further seven minutes.
