Wireless charging function

Fig. 1 Diagram: shelf with lining mat for the wireless

charging function.

The wireless charging function comes with some equipment levels and is not available in all countries.

The wireless charging pad is located in the centre console.

In some vehicles, the lining mat has a telephone symbol which marks the centre of the wireless charging function

→ Fig. 1

.

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.

WARNING

Do not place any metal objects or items with metallic components on the wireless charging pad. Metallic objects

may become very hot. This may cause burn injuries to the skin and cause a fire.

NOTICE

Do not place any ID cards, credit cards etc. with magnetic strips or with a chip on the wireless charging pad. The

data stored on the magnetic strip or chip may become unusable.

Drawers

Fig. 1 Under the front seat: Drawer

There may be a drawer under each of the front seats.

Opening or closing the drawer

—To open press the button in the drawer grip and open the drawer.

—To close, push the drawer under the front seat until it clicks into place.

WARNING

If the drawer is left open it can hinder the correct operation of the pedals. This can result in accidents and severe

injuries.

● Always keep the drawer closed while the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise the drawer and other items could fall

into the driver footwell and obstruct the pedals.

Folding table

Fig. 1 On the front seat: Setting up the folding table.

—To set up the folding table, press the release button on the lower edge of the table and pull upwards in the

direction of the arrow until it clicks into place.

A drink holder is integrated in the folding table.

—To fold it down, press the release button again and push the folding table down until it clicks into place.

Introduction

WARNING

Improper use of the cigarette lighter or the ashtray could cause fires, burns and other serious injuries.

● The cigarette lighter must always be used properly.

● Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. The cigarette lighter can be used when the ignition is switched

on.

● Never place paper or other items that may cause a fire in the ashtray.

lighter (with some equipment levels).

A cigarette lighter is located in the lower part of the centre console.

1. With the ignition switched on, press in the knob on the cigarette lighter.

2. Wait for the button to pop out.

3. Pull out the cigarette lighter and use (→ Ashtray and cigarette lighter).

4. Insert the cigarette lighter back into the socket.

The cigarette lighter socket can also be used as a 12-volt

socket.

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.

The maximum power rating of the individual sockets should never be exceeded. The power rating of each device is

stated on its type plate.

The sockets also work when the ignition is switched off→

.

Using electrical appliances with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the battery.

12-volt sockets can be found in the following locations in the vehicle:

283

—Stowage compartment in the dash panel (→ Driver side).

—Centre console (→ Centre console).

—In the luggage compartment or in front of the third row of seats.

230-volt socket with earthing contact

The 230-volt socket with earthing contact can be found in the following locations in the vehicle→ Fig. 2:

—On the partition between the passenger area and luggage compartment.

—Rear centre console.

The socket is activated automatically as soon as a plug is connected when the engine is running. If there is sufficient

energy in the system, the socket can also be used when the engine is off →

.

—Connecting electrical equipment: Open cover and insert the plug all the way into the socket to unlock the

integrated child protection device. Electricity will not flow until the child socket protection has been unlocked.

The ignition is switched off but there is still sufficient energy available to continue to supply the

socket with power for up to ten minutes. If the plug is removed during this time, the socket switches

off and cannot be re-used until the ignition is switched on again.

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!

● Never pour any liquid over the socket.

● Do not plug adapters or extension cables into the 230-volt socket with earthing contact. Otherwise the built-in

child lock will disengage and power will be supplied to the socket.

● Do not insert any items which will conduct electricity, such as knitting needles, into the contacts of the 230-volt

socket with earthing contact.

NOTICE

● Observe the operating instructions for any device that you plug into the socket.

● 12-volt socket:

● Only use accessories that have been approved in accordance with valid guidelines concerning electromagnetic
