Operating the Charging Flaps
To open the charging flaps, place your hand flat against the marked sensor area on the rear third of the relevant charging flap. The vehicle must be unlocked for this function to work. With Comfort Access, it is sufficient to carry the vehicle key with you, for example, in your pocket.
Alternatively, you can operate the electric charging flaps via the Flow Display.
The charging flaps close automatically once charging is complete and the plug is unplugged. An open charging flap is also closed when the vehicle is locked or when a gear is selected.
Note: For detailed operating instructions, refer to the Owner's Manual.
