Vehicle features and  
options  
Warning  
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐  
cific and optional features offered with the series.  
It also describes features that are not necessarily  
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the  
selected options or country versions. This also  
applies to safety-related functions and systems.  
When using these functions and systems, the  
applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐  
served.  
The operation of remote-controlled systems  
with the integrated universal remote control,  
such as the garage door, may result in injury,  
for example, body parts becoming jammed in a  
garage door. There is a risk of injury or risk of  
damage to property. Make sure that the area of  
movement of the respective system is clear  
during programming and operation. Also follow  
the safety information of the hand-held trans‐  
mitter.  
Integrated Universal  
Remote Control  
Compatibility  
If this symbol is printed on the packaging  
or in the owner's manual of the system to  
be controlled, the system is generally  
compatible with the integrated Universal Remote  
Control.  
Concept  
The integrated Universal Remote Control in the  
interior mirror can operate up to 3 functions of  
remote-controlled systems such as garage door  
drives, barriers, or lighting systems.  
Additional questions are answered by:  
A dealer's service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop.  
General information  
The Integrated Universal Remote Control repla‐  
ces up to 3 different hand-held transmitters. To  
operate the remote control, the buttons on the  
interior mirror must be programmed with the de‐  
sired functions. The hand-held transmitter for the  
particular system is required in order to program  
the remote control.

Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored func‐  
tions for the sake of security.  
If possible, do not install the antenna of the re‐  
mote-controlled system, e.g. the garage door  
drive, near metal objects to ensure the best pos‐  
sible operation.

2. Initial setup:  
Special feature of the rolling code  
wireless system  
If you are unable to operate the remote-control‐  
led system after repeated programming, please  
check if the system to be controlled features a  
rolling code radio system.  
Press and hold the two outer buttons on the  
interior mirror simultaneously for approxi‐  
mately 10 seconds until the LED flashes  
green rapidly. This erases all programming of  
the buttons on the interior mirror.  
Refer to the owner's manual for the system.  
3. Press the interior mirror button to be pro‐  
grammed. The LED on the interior mirror will  
slowly begin flashing orange.  
For systems with a rolling code radio system, the  
integrated Universal Remote Control and the  
system also have to be synchronized.  
4. Hold the hand-held transmitter for the system  
to be used approx. 1 to 12 in/2.5 to 30 cm  
away from the buttons on the interior mirror.  
The required distance depends on the hand-  
held transmitter.  
Please read the owner's manual to find out how  
to synchronize the system.  
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a second

Wireless charging tray  
Connecting an external device  
Follow the following when connecting:  
Concept  
The wireless charging tray enables the following  
functions to be performed without cables:  
Do not use force when plugging the connec‐  
tor into the USB interface.  
Charging the rechargeable battery of a mo‐  
bile phone with Qi capability and of other mo‐  
bile devices, which support the Qi standard.  
Use a flexible adapter cable.  
Protect the USB storage device against me‐  
chanical damage.  
Connect the mobile phone to the external an‐  
tenna.  
Due to the large number of USB storage de‐  
vices available on the market, it cannot be  
guaranteed that every device is operable on  
the vehicle.  
Depending on the country, this provides for  
better network reception and a consistent re‐  
production quality.  
Do not expose USB storage devices to ex‐  
treme environmental conditions, such as very  
high temperatures; refer to the owner's  
manual of the device.  
General information  
When inserting the mobile phone, make sure  
there are no objects between it and the wireless  
charging tray.  
Due to the many different compression tech‐  
niques, proper playback of the media stored  
on the USB storage device cannot be guar‐  
anteed in all cases.  
During charging, the surface of the tray and the  
mobile phone may become warm. Higher tem‐  
peratures may lead to a reduction in the charge  
current through the mobile phone, and in iso‐  
lated cases the charging process is paused tem‐  
porarily. Follow the relevant instructions in the  
mobile phone owner's manual.  
A connected USB storage device will be sup‐  
plied with charge current via the USB inter‐  
face if the device supports this. At higher  
temperatures, the charge current through the  
USB storage device may be reduced.

LTE-Compensator - Information  
and User Manual  
Your car is equipped with a wireless charging  
tray (WCA) to charge your mobile phone and  
connect it to the mobile network. To ensure the  
best possible connection a signal booster (LTE-  
Compensator) is used in conjunction with the  
WCA. The following paragraphs refer to this  
booster:  
4. Place the mobile phone in the storage area,  
arrow 2.  
5. Push the clamp forward and clamp the mo‐  
bile phone in the tray.  
This is a CONSUMER device.  
6. Close the center armrest.  
BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DE‐  
VICE with your wireless provider and have your  
provider's consent. Most wireless providers con‐  
sent to the use of Compensators. Some provid‐  
ers may not consent to the use of this device on  
their network. If you are unsure, contact your  
provider. You MUST operate this device with ap‐  
proved antennas and cables as specified by the  
manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at  
least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person. You  
MUST cease operating this device immediately if  
requested by the FCC or a licensed wireless  
service provider. Warning E911 location informa‐  
tion may not be provided or may be inaccurate

Concept  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the cargo  
area can be enlarged as follows:  
Warning  
With a rear backrest that is not locked, the pro‐  
tective function of the middle safety belt is not  
guaranteed. There is a risk of injuries or danger  
to life. If you are using the middle safety belt,  
lock the wider rear seat backrest.  
The rear seat backrests can be folded down.  
The rear seat backrests can be moved into an  
upright loading position using the cargo set‐  
ting.  
General information  
The rear seat backrest is divided at a ratio of 40–  
20–40. The side rear seat backrests and the  
center section can be folded down separately.  
Warning  
The stability of the child restraint system is lim‐  
ited or compromised with incorrect seat adjust‐  
ment or improper installation of the child seat.  
There is a risk of injuries or danger to life. Make  
sure that the child restraint system fits securely  
against the backrest. If possible, adjust the  
backrest tilt for all affected backrests and cor‐  
rectly adjust the seats. Make sure that seats  
and backrests are securely engaged or locked.  
If possible, adjust the height of the head re‐  
straints or remove them.

NOTICE  
Vehicle parts can be damaged when folding  
down the rear backrest. There is a risk of dam‐  
age to property. Make sure that the area of  
movement of the rear backrest including head
