Get Transport -> Charging options for mobile devices Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

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

In the case of double USB ports, the charging capacity can be split between both ports.

Wireless charging function

In the front centre console: lining mat for the wireless

charging function (illustration).

The wireless charging function is dependent on the equipment level and may not be available in all countries or regions.

The lining mat with two shelf areas for the wireless charging function is located in the area of the front centre console. Each shelf area

is designed for only one Qi-certified mobile telephone → Fig. 1.

The wireless charging function achieves Qi certification over a short distance by means of electromagnetic induction on both shelves.

Depending on the vehicle, the digital key function is located on the shelf on the driver side.

The NFC card protection is activated in both shelves.

The mobile telephones enable wireless energy transfer.

In some vehicles, the shelf area has a telephone symbol which marks the centre position → Fig. 1.

The charging capacity of each shelf area is 15 W.

Input voltage/current: 14 V (DC)/3.5 A.

Qi standard

The Qi standard enables wireless charging of suitable Qi-certified mobile telephones. Consult the operating instructions for the mobile

telephone to find out if it is compatible with the Qi standard. An overview of Qi-certified mobile telephones can be found at the

following external link of Wireless Power Consortium, Inc.:

https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/products

Volkswagen AG does not assume any liability for the completeness and correctness of this list. The manufacturer of the mobile

telephone can provide further information on compatibility, if necessary.

There may be charging restrictions with mobile telephones that are not Qi-certified.

The Qi symbol is displayed in the Infotainment system.

Charging a mobile telephone wirelessly

Prerequisite

The optimum operating temperature in the vehicle for wireless charging is between -40°C and +35°C (around -40°F to +95°F).

A suitable mobile telephone that is not larger than the marked shelf area and is Qi-certified.

1. Remove any foreign objects from the stowage compartment before charging →

2. After removing the protective cover and any other foreign material, place the mobile telephone in the centre of the shelf area

with the display facing upwards and so that its entire surface is flat on the area.

The charging process starts automatically.

3. Follow the operating instructions for the mobile telephone.

The Infotainment system will provide information about the start of the charging operation and, where applicable, about any foreign

objects with metallic components that are detected in the stowage compartment.

Depending on equipment, the charging function can be deactivated manually in the Infotainment system.

If the ambient temperature in the vehicle is outside the temperature range of -40°C to +35°C (around -40°F to +95°F), the

charging process may be interrupted or the charging time extended.

Wireless charging will function normally again as soon as the ambient temperature in the vehicle is within the temperature range.

Meaning of the Qi symbols

The white Qi symbol with the On/Off switch indicates that wireless charging is switched off.

The white Qi symbol indicates that the mobile telephone is being charged.

The red Qi symbol indicates that wireless charging is not possible.

Tap the Qi symbol for explanations on the status and to switch on wireless charging if necessary.
