R Largemobile phones which do not rest flat in
th e mobile phone stowage compartment may
not be able tobe charge d or connec ted with
th eve hicle's exterior aerial.
R The mobile phone may heat up during the
ch arging process. This depends on the appli‐
cations (apps) cur rently running.
The mobile phone can be cooled in the
mobile phone stowage compartment when
th e air conditioning sy stem is switched on.
The cooling output in the mobile phone stow‐
age compartment is highest when the con‐

R Vehicles with a 48 V electrical sy stem
(EQ-Boost tech nology): the combustion
engine is switched off depending on the driv‐
ing situation. All of theve hicle functions
re main active.
Glide mode is activated if thefo llowing condi‐
tions are me t:
R drive program Eis selected.
R the speed is within a suitable range.
R the course of thero ad is suitable, e.g. no
st eep uphill or downhill gradients or tight
bends.
R there is no trailer coupled tothe ball coupling

stems and your responsibility Yo
ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐ vring
theve hicle. The driving sy stems are tools
and do not relie ve you of your responsibility. Pay
attention tothe tra ffic conditions at all times
and inter vene when necessa ry. Be aware of the
limitations rega rding the safe use of these sys‐
te ms. Fu
nction of thera dar senso rs Some driving and driving sa
fety sy stems use
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area in front of,
behind or next totheve hicle (depending on the
ve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind thera diator grille. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush (→ page317).
The sensors must not be co vered, forex ample
by bicycle rack s, ove rhanging loads or radar-
