The wireless charging function enables wireless energy transmission by electromagnetic induction over a short  
distance.  
The maximum charging power is 5 watts.  
The Qi standard enables wireless charging of suitable Qi-enabled mobile devices.  
To find out whether a mobile device supports the Qi standard, please consult its operating instructions. The  
manufacturer of the mobile device can provide further advice on compatibility.  
Place only one Qi-enabled mobile device without a protective cover with maximum dimensions(width x length) of  
80 mm x 160 mm (3.15 in x 6.299 in) flat on the wireless charging pad.  
Before charging a mobile device, remove foreign objects with metal parts such as coins and keys from the pad, and  
follow the operating instructions for the mobile telephone.  
To charge a Qi-enabled mobile device, place a suitable mobile device without protective cover with the display facing  
upwards flat on the shelf so that the entire surface is in contact with the lining mat. The charging process will start  
automatically.  
The factory-fitted Infotainment system will provide information about the start of the charging operation and, where  
applicable, about any foreign objects with metallic components, such as coins and keys, that are detected in the  
stowage compartment. Remove foreign objects immediately.  
If the mobile device has not been placed correctly or its dimensions are too large, it cannot be detected or detected  
correctly. The Infotainment system may report that there is a foreign object on the shelf. If a suitable mobile device is  
being used, this problem can be solved by correcting its position.  
Qi-enabled mobile devices that are too large in their dimensions cannot be charged using the wireless charging  
facility.

Introduction  
Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.  
The electrical devices must be in good condition. Do not use faulty devices.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the sockets and electrical accessories can cause fires and severe injuries.  
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. Sockets and the devices connected to them can be used when  
the ignition is switched on.  
If the electrical device gets too hot, switch off the device immediately and disconnect it from the socket.  
NOTICE  
In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that supplies electric power, such  
as solar panels or battery chargers, to the 12-volt socket for charging.  
Use only electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines concerning  
electromagnetic compatibility.  
In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations, always switch off any electrical devices before switching  
the ignition on or off and before starting the engine. When the start/stop system automatically switches off and  
restarts the engine, it is not necessary to switch off any connected electrical devices.  
Never connect electrical devices requiring more than the rated power to a 12-volt socket. The vehicle's electrical  
system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.  
Observe the operating instructions of the electrical devices!  
Using electrical consumers with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the 12-volt  
battery.  
Unshielded devices can cause interference in the Infotainment system and vehicle  
electronics.

Temperature switch-off  
The inverter in the 230-volt socket with earthing contact will switch off automatically if the temperature exceeds a  
specific value. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the power  
consumption is too high or if the ambient temperature is too high. The 230-volt socket with earthing contact cannot  
be used again until after the cool-down phase.  
The plug on the connected device must first be removed and then reinserted before using the 230-volt socket with  
earthing contact again after the cool-down phase. This helps prevent the connected electrical devices being switched  
on accidentally.  
DANGER  
High voltage in the electrical system!
