Charging a mobile phone wirelessly
WARNING
An alternating magnetic field is used for wire-
less charging. Always keep a minimum of
6 cm away from the charging plate of the
phone compartment. The limits for long-term
exposure according to ICNIRP 1998 are kept
to at this distance. Side effects such as irrita-
tion to sensory organs or functional issues
with active implants (e.g. pacemakers, infu-
sion pumps, neurostimulators) or passive im-
plants (e.g. artificial joints) are therefore very
unlikely. If you have implants, please consult
a doctor if you have any questions. Alterna-
tively, you can switch the phone compart-
ment’s wireless charging function on/off. You
will still be able to charge your mobile phone
using a cable.
You can charge your mobile phone wirelessly in
the phone compartment. The charging perform-
ance depends on the mobile phone.
Important: The vehicle must be switched on and
your mobile phone must be Qi compatible.
►
Make sure that the function is switched on in
the Telephone settings menu ðpage 192.
►
Place your mobile phone with the rear side
down on the charging symbol on the holder.
Make sure that there are no cards with an NFC
chip between the phone compartment and the
mobile phone while the phone is charging, as this
could cause irreparable damage to such cards.
If the notification for the wireless charging func-
tion is switched on in the Telephone settings
menu ðpage 192, a notification is displayed on
the MMI showing that the mobile phone is being
charged wirelessly.
CAUTION
The mobile phone may become hot while
charging wirelessly – risk of injury! Consider
the temperature of your mobile phone when
removing it. Take the mobile phone out of the
phone compartment carefully.
