  1. Shelf with a liner pad.

The wireless charging function depends on the vehicle equipment and is not available in all countries.

The wireless charging function uses electromagnetic induction to transfer energy wirelessly over short distances. To use this function, you need a suitable Qi-certified cell phone. To find out whether a cell phone supports the Qi standard, see the cell phone operating instructions. New technologies might not be compatible with the wireless charging function. The manufacturer of the cell phone can offer further information regarding compatibility.

The maximum charging power is 5 watts.

Depending on the vehicle, the rear shelf with liner mat→ fig. 1 -1- for the wireless charging function is located in the center console or between the front seats in a storage compartment.

In some vehicles, the liner mat bears a phone symbol, which indicates the center position for the wireless charging function → fig. 1 -1-. The symbol on the liner mat may look different in some vehicles.

Only a single Qi-certified cell phone without a protective case and with maximum dimensions( width x length) of 80 mm x 140 mm (approx. 3 in x 6 in) should ever be placed flat on the wireless charging function shelf.

Qi-certified cell phones with larger dimensions cannot be charged wirelessly.
