Immobiliser The system is part of the ignition
switch and checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to be started with the key being used.
The immobiliser is activated
automatically after the electronic key
has been removed from the vehicle.
If control indicator d flashes when the
vehicle is on, there is a fault in the
system; the propulsion system cannot
be started. Switch off the vehicle and
repeat the start attempt.
If control indicator d continues
flashing, attempt to start the
propulsion system using the spare
key and seek the assistance of a
workshop.Note
Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) tags may cause interference with the key. Do not have it placednear the key when starting the
vehicle.
Note
The immobiliser does not lock the doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on the anti-theft alarm system 3 20,
3 29.
Control indicator d 3 80.Exterior mirrors

The covers of the mirrors should be
closed when driving.

Seats, restraints39
● Sit with buttocks as far backagainst the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that legs
are slightly angled when fully
pressing the pedals. Slide the
front passenger seat as far back
as possible.
● Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on all
sides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
● Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly
bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do
not angle the backrest too far
back. We recommend a
maximum rake of approx. 25°.
● Adjust seat and steering wheel in
a way that the wrist rests on top
of the steering wheel while the
arm is fully extended and
shoulders on the backrest.
● Adjust the steering wheel 3 65.
● Adjust the head restraint 3 37.
Manual seat adjustment Drive only with engaged seats and
backrests.Longitudinal adjustment
Pull handle, slide seat, release
handle. Try to move the seat back and forth to ensure that the seat is locked
in place.

Another two USB ports for charging
only are located in the back of the
centre console.
All USB ports provide 2.1 A at 5 V.
Note
The USB ports must always be kept clean and dry.
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 phone, as these
objects could become very hot.
PMA or Qi compatible mobile phones can be charged inductively.
A protective cover for the mobile
phone could have an impact on the
inductive charging.
The vehicle must be switched on, in
service mode or retained power off.
Starting and stopping the vehicle
3 150.
The operating temperature is −20 °C
to 60 °C for the charging system and
0 °C to 35 °C for the phone.To charge a mobile device:
1. Remove all objects from the charging slot. The system may not
charge if there are any objects in
the charging slot.
2. With the mobile device screen facing the driver, slowly insert the
device into the charging slot until
0 is shown on the Info display.
This indicates that the mobile
device is properly positioned and
could be charged.
If a phone is inserted into the slot and
0 does not display, remove the
mobile device from the pocket, turn it

Reconfigurable instrument cluster
The cluster layout can be changed.
Use the steering wheel control to
move between the different display
zones and scroll through the different displays.
There are three display
configurations to choose from:
● Basic configuration displays the
speedometer with a simplified
high voltage battery gauge and
efficiency light.
● Standard configuration displays
the speedometer with a high
voltage battery gauge and
efficiency gauge.
● Enhanced configuration displays
the speedometer with high
voltage battery gauge, efficiency
ring, and power gauge.
Driver Information Centre 3 82.

74Instruments and controlsSpeedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
Odometer
The total recorded distance is
displayed in km.
Battery gauge
This displays the high voltage battery state of charge. The value in the
centre is an estimate of how far the
vehicle can be driven on the
remaining charge as estimated from
driving habits and conditions learned
over several days.
The maximum value is shown above
the display and the minimum value
below the display. The values
indicate the longest and shortest
possible range as estimated from
current vehicle conditions and climate
settings.
The mileage estimate and maximum
and minimum numbers are affected
by climate control system usage.
Estimated range may increase or
decrease based upon changes in
climate control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left indicates
how recent vehicle conditions and
climate settings are affecting the
learned range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state of charge is very low the estimated
range value in the centre will change
to Low . Maximum and minimum
ranges will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low state
of charge.
Driving efficiency gaugeThis gauge is a guide to driving in an
efficient manner.
Driving economically 3 147.

76Instruments and controlsPower indicator gauge
The power indicator gauge displays
the instantaneous charge and
discharge power flowing either into or out of the high voltage battery.
Maximum discharge power is
available when the high voltage
battery is fully charged. During normal
operation, a slight reduction in
discharge power may occur as the
high voltage battery state of charge
decreases.
Regenerative braking
There is an indication when
regenerative braking is active. If
regenerative braking is active, the regenerative active icon with arrowsis shown as green.
Regenerative power limited
indication
Regenerative power icon is shown as grey when regenerative power is
limited. Additionally, a horizontal bar
is displayed on the gauge. This
usually occurs when the high voltage
battery is near full charge or cold.
Regenerative braking 3 159.

Service display If it is time for service, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
The first warning is displayed
400 km before service is due and the
second warning 80 km before the
service is due. The message appears every time the vehicle is switched on.
The message can be dismissed or
reset. Reset after service only.
