Understanding the charging cable for
mains sockets
Useful information
!
Only use the charging cable to charge
the high-voltage battery. Do not use the
charging cable for other purposes. It may
otherwise be damaged.
i
If you use the mains socket to charge
the high-voltage battery, the charging
time is longer and the electricity con-
sumption is higher. If possible, charge
the high-voltage battery at a wallbox or
a charging station.
Only use a charging cable which is
approved by smart for this vehicle.
Do not leave the charging cable control
panel hanging loose from a mains socket.
Otherwise, this could lead to a bad contact
with the mains socket and to malfunctions
when charging the vehicle.
Never lift or carry the control panel by the
charging cable connector or the mains plug.
Before charging the high-voltage battery at
a mains socket, check the maximum per-
missible charge current for the relevant
mains socket or the building. The maximum
value of the charge current is set to the
country-specific setting for the supplied
charging cable. When charging abroad, the
maximum value may exceed that of the
country you are in. Observe the regulations
specific to the country you are in if charg-
ing abroad. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop if you have questions about
charge current settings or a malfunction.
