Read and observe and on page 87 first.
The storage compartment in the front centre console can be equipped with
the Phonebox function.
If a phone is directed with its rear side downwards on the pad in the storage
compartment » Fig. 96, the phone signal is amplified by the roof antenna.
Telephones that support the Qi standard for wireless charging, can also be
charged wirelessly in the storage compartment.
While wireless charging is taking place, no objects may be between the pad
and the telephone being charged.
WARNING■ The phone may become warm during wireless charging, so it should be
removed carefully from the tray.■
Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become
hot due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of injury. If there is
a metal object in the storage compartment that has become hot, then take
out the telephone and let the object cook in the storage compartment! 
89Practical features

CAUTION■Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become hot
due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of damage to the tele-
phone.■
With some phones, the charging process can be interrupted or the phone can
switch off due to heating up.
■
Do not insert any electronic or magnetic storage media (e.g. SD cards, USB
sticks, cards with magnetic strips or chips) between the pad and the phone to
be charged- there is a risk of data loss and damage to these data carriers.
■
If a message appears in the Infotainment screen that the phone cannot be
charged, then proceed as follows. ■Check that there is no object between the support and the phone to be
charged. If this is the case, then take out the object and the phone. Place the
phone centrally on the phone symbol on the pad again.
■ Check if the position of the phone to be charged has not changed during
the journey. If this is the case, then take out the phone and put it back cen-
trally on the phone symbol on the pad.
Note
■ At the start of the wireless charging, the appropriate message appears on
the Infotainment screen.■
For the optimum phone signal strength and uninterrupted wireless charging,
we recommend position the phone in the storage compartment without the
protective sleeve, if possible.
■
Place a max. 160x80 mm phone in the storage compartment.

Load USB audio source
With Infotainment on after connecting the USB audio source, the charging
process is automatically started (applies for audio sources where charging via
the USB connector is possible).
The charging efficiency can differ compared to charging from the usual mains
power supply.
Depending on the type of the connected external device and the frequency of
use, the charging current may not be sufficient to charge the battery of the
connected device.
Some connected audio sources may not be recognised and cannot be charged.

Specification - the brake fluid must comply with VW 501 14 standard (this
standard meets the requirements of FMVSS 116 DOT4).WARNING■ The following warning instructions must be followed at all times when
working in the engine compartment » page 278.■
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the
fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the
“MIN” » Fig. 334 marking. 
Stop driving - There is a risk of an accident!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Note
■ The brake fluid is changed as part of a compulsory inspection service.■A low brake fluid level which is too low is indicated by the warning light
 being shown on the display of the instrument cluster as well as the corre-
sponding message » page 35. We therefore recommend that you check the
coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.

The vehicle battery represents a power source for the motor to start and for the supply of electrical consumers in the car.
Automatic consumer shutdown - Discharge protection of the vehicle battery
The on-board power supply tries as follows to avoid draining the vehicle bat-
tery when it is heavily loaded.
▶ By increasing the engine idle speed.
▶ By limiting the power of certain consumers.
▶ By turning off some consumers (heated seats, heated rear window) for as
long as necessary.
Warning symbols on the vehicle batterySymbolMeaningAlways wear eye protection.Battery acid is severely caustic. Always wear gloves and eye pro-
tection.Keep fire, sparks, open flames and lit cigarettes well clear of the
vehicle battery.When charging the vehicle battery, a highly explosive gas mixture
is produced.Keep children away from the vehicle battery.WARNINGBattery acid is highly corrosive - risk of injury, irritation or poisoning! Corro-
sive vapours in the air irritate and damage the respiratory tract and the
eyes. The following guidelines must be observed.■
Always wear protective gloves, eye and skin protection when handling
the vehicle battery.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolyte fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes with plenty of water. Seek
medical assistance if required.
■
Keep the vehicle battery away from people who are not completely inde-
pendent, especially children.
■
Do not tilt the battery otherwise battery electrolyte may flow out of the
battery vent openings.
WARNINGWhen working on the car battery, there is the risk of explosion, fire, injury
or irritation! The following guidelines must be observed.■
Avoid smoking, the use of open flames or light and any activities that
could cause sparks.
■
A discharged vehicle battery can freeze slightly. Never charge up a fro-
zen or thawed vehicle battery. Replace a frozen vehicle battery.
■
Never use a damaged vehicle battery – risk of explosion!
■
Do not connect the battery terminals with each other by bridging the two
poles of a short circuit. 
283Inspecting and replenishing

CAUTIONEnsure that battery acid does not come into contact with the bodywork – risk
of damage to the paintwork.
Note
■ We recommend having all work on the vehicle battery carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
You should replace batteries older than 5 years.
Check condition
Fig. 335
Vehicle battery: Open the cover / acid level indicator
Read and observe
and on page 283 first.
The battery condition is checked regularly by a specialist garage as part of the
inspection service.
Check the acid level
For car batteries with acid level indicator, use the colouration of the display to
check the acid level. In vehicle batteries with the designation “AGM” there is
no acid level examination.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle battery may be provided with a cov-
er, this can be opened in the direction of arrow » Fig. 335 -
 .
Air bubbles can influence the colour of the indicator. Therefore, carefully knock
on the display » Fig. 335 -
 .
Black colour - electrolyte level is correct.
Colourless or light yellow colour - electrolyte level too low, the battery must be
replaced.
Battery discharge
Frequent short journeys will not sufficiently recharge the car battery.
The battery capacity decreases at low temperatures.
If the vehicle is not used for longer than 3 to 4 weeks, then disconnect the
negative terminal 
or charge the battery constantly with a very low charging
current.
Charging
Read and observe
and on page 283 first.
Only charge the vehicle battery when the ignition and all consumers are
switched off.
Refer to the instructions of the charger manufacturer.
Charging
›
For vehicles with START-STOP system or auxiliary heating, connect the

terminal of the charger on the  pole of the battery, the
 terminal of the
charger to the earth point of the engine » page 298.
›
For vehicles without START-STOP system or auxiliary heating, connect the
terminals of the charger to the corresponding battery poles (  at
.
 at
).
›
Plug the mains cable of the charger into the power socket and switch on the
device.
›
After charging has been successful: Switch off the charger and remove the
mains cable from the power socket.
›
Disconnect the terminals of the charger from the vehicle battery.
A charging current of 0.1 multiple of the total vehicle battery capacity (or low-
er) must be used until full charging is achieved.
WARNING■ When charging the vehicle battery, hydrogen is released - risk of explo-
sion. An explosion can be caused from sparks or connection or releasing
the cable plug while the ignition is on.■
The so-called “quick charging” of the vehicle battery is dangerous and re-
quires a special charger and specialist knowledge. Therefore, have “Quick
loading” carried out by a specialist garage.
