Electric Charging Flap

The charging flaps can be opened using a hand gesture by wiping the flat of your hand across the sensor at the rear of the respective flap. The prerequisite for this is that the vehicle is unlocked and the selector lever is in the P position.

Alternatively, the charging flaps can be operated via the central display (PCM).

Note: For detailed operating instructions, refer to the Owner's Manual.

Charging Ports

Alternating current (AC)

AC charging is possible on both sides of the vehicle. When one charging port is in use, the other is automatically locked. 

Direct current (DC)

DC fast charging is only possible on the passenger side, where the designated fast-charging port is located.
