Phonebox
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 telephone is directed with its rear side downwards on the pad in the stor-
age compartment » Fig. 89, the telephone signal is amplified by the roof an-
tenna.
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 telephone may become warm during wireless charging, so this should
be removed carefully from the tray.■
Metal objects between the pad and the telephone to be charged can get
hot due to the action of the induction field - There 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 compart-
ment!
CAUTION
■ Metal objects between the pad and the telephone to be charged can get hot
due to the action of the induction field - There is a risk damage to the tele-
phone.■
With some telephones, the charging process may be interrupted or the tele-
phone may switch off due to getting hot.
■
No electronic or magnetic storage media (e.g. SD cards, USB sticks, cards
with magnetic strips or chip) may be placed between the support and tele-
phone to be charged - there is a risk of data loss and damage to this data carri-
er.
■
If a message appears in Infotainment that the telephone can not be charged,
then proceed as follows.
■
Check that no objects are between the pad and the telephone being charg-
ed. If this is the case, then take out the object and the telephone. Place the
telephone on the pad centrally on the telephone symbol.
■
Check if the position of the telephone to be charged has not changed during
the journey. If this is the case, then take out the telephone and place it back
on the pad centrally on the telephone symbol. 
89Practical features

Note■At the start of the wireless charging process, the appropriate message ap-
pears on the Infotainment screen.■
For the optimum telephone signal strength and uninterrupted wireless
charging, we recommend position the telephone in the storage compartment
without the protective sleeve, if possible.
