Handling the charging cable and charg-
ing cable controls
Do not leave the charging cable controls
( page 138) hanging loose from an electrical
Y
outlet. Otherwise, this could result in a poor
contact with the electrical outlet and mal-
functions when charging the vehicle.
To ensure that the brackets within the charg-
ing cable controls are not subjected to incor-
rect loads, observe the following:
Never lift or carry the controls by the charg-
R
ing cable connector or the mains plug.
To transport the charging cable, the coiled
R
part can be:
wrapped around the controls or
-
secured to the housing of the controls
-
Heat generated by the charging cable
and connector
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
( page 134).

During the charging process, the charging
cable and connector may heat up.
The charging cable and connector will only
heat up within the permissible limiting values,
provided that:
the power supply and the charging cable
R
are not damaged
the instructions for handling the charging
R
cable and controls on the charging cable
are observed
Charging the high-voltage battery
Should the permissible heating temperature
limits be exceeded, have the mains power
supply checked.
Protection device against overvoltage
! Overvoltage in the mains supply may
damage the vehicle. For this reason, the
vehicle is equipped with a protection device
against overvoltage in the mains supply.
This device may be triggered during severe
thunderstorms, for example, and may lead
to the building's fuse being tripped and an
interruption in the power supply. These
functions protect the vehicle. After the
building fuse is switched on again, the
charging process resumes automatically.
Following an interruption in the power sup-
ply or tripping of the building's fuse, it may
take up to 10 minutes for charging to
resume automatically.
Switch on the building protection system
again after it has been triggered. Otherwise,
the charging process cannot be continued.
The high-voltage battery will not be charged
and you may not be able to drive the vehicle.
If other devices are protected by the same
protective device, these are switched off as
well when the protective device is triggered.
Ensure that these other devices are still
operational after reactivating the protection
device.
