● the central control unit in the control panel 3 107
● the touch screen 3 112
● audio controls on the steering wheel 3 107
● the speech recognition 3 132
Switching the Infotainment
system on or off
The Infotainment system is switched
on automatically when the vehicle is turned on. After switching on, the last selected Infotainment source
becomes active.
Automatic switch-off
If the Infotainment system has been
switched on by pressing X while the
vehicle is switched off, it will switch off again automatically 10 minutes after
the last user input.
Low power mode

applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 79.
● Switch off the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, applythe parking brake and set the
selector lever to P before
switching off the vehicle. On an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, apply the parking brake
and set the selector lever to P
before switching off the vehicle.
Turn the front wheels towards
the kerb.
With the selector lever in P,
press POWER m briefly to

Post-crash label
The post-crash label is located in the
driver's door frame.
After an accident, park the vehicle
with a sufficient distance of
approx. 7.5 m to other objects.
Park on a non-flammable surface.
Call the hotline number given on the
label to get further instructions on how to handle the vehicle.

Driving and operating193Charging
This section explains the process of
charging the vehicle's high voltage
battery. Do not allow the vehicle to
remain in places with extremes of
temperature for long periods without
being driven or plugged in.
It is recommended to keep the vehicle
plugged in, even if fully charged, to
keep the high voltage battery
temperature ready for the next drive.
The vehicle must be plugged in when
the temperatures are below -25 °C, to
operate properly and to maximise
high voltage battery life.
However, we recommend plugging in the vehicle when temperatures drop
below 0 °C or raise above 32 °C.
When using the portable charge cord, it will take approximately 33 hours to
charge the vehicle with the 10 A
setting.
When using a 230 V charging station, it will take approximately ten hours to
charge the vehicle with the 32 A
setting.Charge times will vary based on high
voltage battery condition and outside
temperature. There are three ways to programme how the vehicle is
charged.
Programmable charging 3 196.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps resulting in noises coming
from the vehicle while it is turned off.
Additional clicking sounds may be
caused by the electrical devices used
while charging.
While the charge cord is plugged into
the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be
driven.
When to charge When the high voltage battery is
getting low, charging messages may be displayed.
The Charge vehicle soon message
indicates that the driving range is low
and the vehicle needs to be charged
soon. As the charge level drops, the
Propulsion power is reduced
message is displayed and the
accelerator pedal response is
reduced. In addition, the remainingrange value will change to Low
indicating the vehicle should be
charged immediately.
When the energy is fully depleted, the Out of power. Charge vehicle now
message is displayed and the vehicle
slows to a stop. Brake and steering
assist will still operate. Once the
vehicle has stopped, switch off the
vehicle.
AC (alternating current) charging
Start charging
A portable charge cord used to
charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the rear floor
storage cover in the load
compartment.
1. Shift into P (Park) and switch off
the vehicle.

Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Tyres
Self-sealing tyres This vehicle may have self-sealing
tyres. These tyres have a material
inside that can seal punctures up to
6 mm in the tread area.
The tyre may lose air pressure if the
sidewall is damaged or the tread
puncture is too large. If the Tyre
pressure monitoring system indicates the tyre pressure is low, inspect thetyre for damage and inflate it to the
recommended pressure. If the tyre is
