Depending on vehicle, an additional
outlet may be located in the rear of the
vehicle.
Connecting electrical accessories
while the engine is off will discharge
the vehicle battery. Do not exceed the
maximum power consumption of
120 W.
9 Danger
To avoid the risk of fire, if multiple
power outlets are used
simultaneously, the total power
consumption of connected
accessories must not exceed
180 W.
With ignition off the power outlet may
be deactivated.
Additionally, the power outlet may be
deactivated in case of low battery
voltage.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in
DIN VDE 40 839.Caution
Do not connect any current- delivering accessories, e.g.
electrical charging devices or
batteries.
Do not damage the outlets by
using unsuitable plugs.
USB socket
In the Infotainment unit or on the
instrument panel there is a USB
socket M for the connection of external
audio sources and for charging
devices.
90Instruments and controls
Note
The sockets must always be kept
clean and dry.
AUX socket, SD card slot – refer to the Infotainment manual.
Inductive charging
9 Warning
Inductive charging can affect the
operation of implanted
pacemakers or other medical
devices. If applicable, seek
medical advice before using the
inductive charging device.
9 Warning
Remove any metal objects from
the charging device before
charging a mobile device, as these objects could become very hot.
To charge a device, the ignition must
be switched on.
To charge a mobile device: 1. Remove all objects from the charging device.
2. Place the mobile device with the display facing upwards on the
charging device in the storage.
Charging status may be indicated in
the Info Display.
PMA or Qi compatible mobile devices can be charged inductively.
On some mobile devices, a back
cover with an integrated coil or a
jacket may be required to use
inductive charging.
Protective cover for the mobile device
could have impact on the inductive
charging.
In the event that the mobile device is
not charging properly, rotate it 180°
and place it on the charging device
again.

occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
Limit the engine speed to 2,500/min for the first 1,500 km.
During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging the
vehicle battery.

274Vehicle careCaution
Only washer fluid with a sufficient
antifreeze concentration provides
protection at low temperatures or
a sudden drop in temperature.
Use of washer fluid containing
isopropanol can damage exterior
lamps.
Brakes
In the event of minimum thickness ofthe brake lining, a squealing noise
sounds during braking.
Continued driving is possible but
have the brake linings replaced as
soon as possible.
Once new brake linings are installed,
do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
Brake fluid9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
The brake fluid level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.
When topping up, ensure maximum cleanliness as contamination of the
brake fluid can lead to brake system
malfunctions. Have the cause of the
loss of brake fluid remedied by a
workshop.
Only use brake fluid approved for
your vehicle.
