If a trailer is electrically connected to a factory-fitted towing bracket, Rear Traffic Alert is switched off. After disconnecting the

electrical trailer connection, Rear Traffic Alert is automatically switched on again.

Rear Traffic Alert must be switched off and on manually if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.

WARNING

Loose objects may be flung through the vehicle interior in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre. This can lead to loss

of control over the vehicle and cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Stow objects only in closed stowage compartments.

● Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.

● Do not place mobile devices or similar objects in the stowage system of the rear centre armrest while the vehicle is in motion.

● The coat hooks in the vehicle should only be used for lightweight clothing weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).

● Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp objects in the pockets of clothing.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause injury. While driving, in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in the event of an

accident, objects located in the drink holder can be flung about the vehicle and hot drinks spilled. This can cause serious injuries and

serious scalding.

● Place only soft, break-proof and closed containers in the drink holder.

● Integrated stowage systems in the rear centre armrest must always be used in the locked end positions.

● Never place hot drinks in a drink holder.

● Make sure that only drinks of the appropriate size are placed in the drink holder. Drinks must always be stored securely in the drink

holder.

WARNING

2. Pull the stowage system forward with the loop in the direction of the arrow until it engages in position → Fig. 2.

The stowage system is then in the middle detent position.

Closing the stowage system

1. If necessary, swivel the stowage system back to the middle detent position.

2. Press the stowage system to the rear in the opposite direction of the arrow until it engages in position → Fig. 2.

The drink holder folds up automatically.

3. Fold the centre armrest upwards in the opposite direction of the arrow and push it into the backrest as far as it will go → Fig. 1.

Do not use the middle seat on the rear bench seat to transport passengers when the centre armrest is folded down.

Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.

The 12-volt socket will work only when the ignition is switched on.

WARNING

Improper use of the sockets and connected electrical accessories can cause fires and serious or fatal injuries.

● Switch off electrical devices immediately and disconnect them from the power supply if the electrical devices become too warm.

● Please note that sockets and devices connected to them can also be used when the ignition is switched off, e.g. by children in the

vehicle.

NOTICE

Unsuitable, non-approved or incorrectly connected electrical devices can cause damage to the vehicle and the electronic

components.

● Never connect electrical devices that supply electric power, such as solar panels or a battery charger, to the 12-volt socket to

charge the 12-volt vehicle battery.

● Use only electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic

compatibility.

● Do not use faulty devices.

● 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.

● Observe the operating instructions of the electrical devices.

NOTICE

The vehicle’s electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.

● Never connect electrical devices requiring more than the rated power to a 12-volt socket.

Using electrical consumers with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the 12-volt battery.

With some equipment levels, unshielded devices can cause interference with the Infotainment system and vehicle electronics.

The maximum power of the sockets must not be exceeded. The power consumption of the external devices is specified on their type

plates.

12-volt socket

In the storage compartment in the centre console under the

centre armrest, on the right-hand side of the luggage compartment

or on the left-hand side of the luggage compartment: fold-open

12-volt socket (illustration).

The continuous power of all 12-volt sockets in the vehicle is 120 W in total (→ Sockets).

The maximum power of a 12-volt socket in the vehicle is a total of 180 W when the engine is running.

NOTICE

The fuse can blow as a result of extended operation of the 12-volt sockets at maximum power.

● Never use the 12-volt sockets at maximum power for longer than 10 minutes.

● Always use only one 12-volt socket with maximum power.

NOTICE

If two or more 12-volt sockets are used simultaneously, the total power consumption of the connected electrical devices must not

exceed 190 W. This can cause the fuse to blow.

● Always use only one 12-volt socket with maximum power.

230-volt socket

In the luggage compartment on the right-hand side: 230-volt

socket (illustration).

The maximum power is 150 W (300 W peak power).

The socket is activated automatically as soon as a plug is inserted when the engine is running. If there is sufficient energy available, the

socket can also still be used when the engine is switched off.

Connecting an electrical device

1. In order to release the child socket protection, open the cover if necessary and plug the plug into the socket as far as it will go.

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

Temperature switch-off

The inverter in the 230-volt socket will switch itself 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 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 again after the cooling

phase. This prevents the electrical devices being switched on again unintentionally.

DANGER

Contact with the high voltage in the electrical system, e.g. sockets, can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.

● Do not spill any liquids over the sockets.

● Do not plug any adapters, power strips, multiple adapters or extension cables into the 230-volt socket.

● Never insert any items made of conductive materials, e.g. a screwdriver, into the contacts of the 230-volt socket.

● Do not use faulty devices with the 230-volt socket.

● Disconnect devices from the 230-volt socket if a fault occurs.

NOTICE

The vehicle sockets can be damaged if they are not used correctly. This can result in damage to the electronics and vehicle.

● Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the socket.

● Do not plug any very heavy devices or plugs, such as mains adapters, directly into the socket.

If devices with a high starting current are prevented from being switched on, this may be due to the integrated overcurrent

cut-out function. In this case, disconnect the power supply from the electrical device and connect again after waiting

approximately 10 seconds.

Functional restrictions may occur with some devices when they are connected to the 230-volt socket due to the lower power

output (wattage).

Mobile devices can be charged in the vehicle either via the installed USB-C connections or wirelessly.

Charging via the USB-C ports

The following USB-C ports may be available in the vehicle:

Identification of a USB connection for data transfer and charging.

Identification of a USB connection suitable only for charging.

Available charging capacity

Voltages of up to 20 V are made available via the USB port. These voltages permit a charging capacity of up to 45 W.

Depending on equipment, the following charging profiles can be supported by the USB connections:

— Legacy charging (2.5 W).
