If a message appears in the Infotainment screen that the phone cannot be
charged, then proceed as follows. ■Check that there is no object between the support and the phone to be
charged. If this is the case, then take out the object and the phone. Place the
phone centrally on the phone symbol on the pad again.
■ Check if the position of the phone to be charged has not changed during
the journey. If this is the case, then take out the phone and put it back cen-
trally on the phone symbol on the pad.
Note
■ At the start of the wireless charging, the appropriate message appears on
