If a phone is directed with its rear side downwards on the pad in the storage
compartment » Fig. 96, the phone signal is amplified by the roof antenna.
Telephones that support the Qi standard for wireless charging, can also be
charged wirelessly in the storage compartment.
While wireless charging is taking place, no objects may be between the pad
and the telephone being charged.
WARNING■ The phone may become warm during wireless charging, so it should be
removed carefully from the tray.■
Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become
hot due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of injury. If there is
a metal object in the storage compartment that has become hot, then take
out the telephone and let the object cook in the storage compartment!
89Practical features

CAUTION■Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become hot
due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of damage to the tele-
phone.■
With some phones, the charging process can be interrupted or the phone can
switch off due to heating up.
■
Do not insert any electronic or magnetic storage media (e.g. SD cards, USB
sticks, cards with magnetic strips or chips) between the pad and the phone to
be charged- there is a risk of data loss and damage to these data carriers.
■
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
the Infotainment screen.■
For the optimum phone signal strength and uninterrupted wireless charging,
we recommend position the phone in the storage compartment without the
protective sleeve, if possible.
■
Place a max. 160x80 mm phone in the storage compartment.
