any other objects in the mobile phone
st ow age compartment, especially those
made of me tal. *
N NOOTE
TE Damage toobjects caused byplac-
ing them in the mobile phone st owage
compartment If objects are placed in
the mobile phone
st ow age compartment, these may be dam-
aged byelectromagnetic /elds. #

aged. #
Ensure that no liquids enter the mobile
phone st owage compartment. Alw
ays obser vethe no tesfo r persons with elec-
tronic medical aids (/ page 40).
R Depending on theve hicle equipment, the
mobile phone is connected totheve hicle's
ex terior aerial via thech arging module.
R The charging function and wireless connection
of the mobile phone totheve hicle's exterior
aerial are only available if theve hicle is
switched on. R
Small mobile phones may not be able tobe
ch arge d in everyposition of the mobile phone
st ow age compartment.
R Largemobile phones which do not rest 0at in
th e mobile phone st owage compartment may
not be able tobe charge d or connected with
th eve hicle's exterior aerial.
R The mobile phone may heat up during the
ch arging process. This may also depend on
th e applications (apps) cur rently open in the
background.
R Toensure more e1cient charging and connec-
tion with theve hicle's exterior aerial, remo ve
th e pr otective co ver from the mobile phone.

to extreme heat or cold in theve hicle
If people, particular lych ildren, are exposed to

WARNING
ARNING Risk of burns due torepeatedly
switching on the seat heating
Re peatedly switching on the seat heating can
cause the seat cushion and seat backrest pad-
ding tobecome very hot.
In particular, the health of persons with limited
te mp erature sensitivity or a limited ability to
re act tohigh temp eratures may be a.ected or
th ey may even su.er burn-like injuries. #
Do not repeatedly switch on the seat
heating. To
protect against overheating, the seat heating
may be temp orarily deactivated aTer it has been
switched on repeatedl y.
% This function is only available for plug-in
hy brids or vehicles with a 48-V on-board elec-
trical system.
The air inside theve hicle can be heated, ventila-
te d or cooled tothe set temp erature when the
ve hicle is par ked.
When theve hicle is connected topowe r supply
equipment, priority is given tocharging the 48 V
battery or the high-voltage battery toa speci/ed
minimum charge.
The running time of pre-entry climate control may
be reduced under thefo llowing conditions (vehi-
cles with a 48 V on-board electrical system):
R The vehicle is not connected topowe r supply
equipment.
R The 48 V battery is not fully charge d. The
running time of pre-entry climate control may
be reduced under thefo llowing conditions (plug-in
hy brid):
R The vehicle is not connected topowe r supply
equipment.
R The high-voltage battery is not fully charge d.
Wi th active pre-ent ryclimate cont rol,th ech arge
le ve l of the 48 V battery or the high-voltage bat-
te ry may be reduced, even if thech arging cable
connector is connected.
If present, seat ventilation is activated in cooling
and ventilation mode.

Characteristics with high po
wer output requ ests:
R The electric mo tors support the combustion
engine (boost e.ect), e.g. when pulling away
or accelerating.
R The high-voltage battery is discharging.
Characteristics when releasing the accelerator
pedal during the journe y:
R The electric mo tors are operated as a alterna-
to r when in overrun mode and during braking.
R The high-voltage battery is charging.
% In drive prog ram Î, theve hicle drives
purely elect ricall y,in drive prog rams C,
and B the combustion engine is alw ays on
No tes on elect ric mode:
R Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signi/-
cant lyless noise when stationary and when
being driven than vehicles with combustion
engines.
R When driving in elect ric mode theve hicle may
not be heard by otherroad users due tothe
signi/cantly reduced noise generated when
driving and when at a standstill. It is
forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle alerting system (A VAS).
R If not all of theve hicle conditions for electric
mode are met, then the combustion engine is
switched on.
No tes on the acoustic vehicle alerting system:
R The sound generator generates a stationary
noise and, up toa speed of about 60 km/h,
speed-dependent vehicle noise emissions.
R This helps other road users, particular ly
pedestrians and cyclists, tohear your vehicle
better.
R When driving at speeds abo ve20 km/h the
acoustic vehicle alerting system gradually
switches theve hicle noise emissions o.. Manual disconnection of t
