If the charge current is too high, the fuse
could be tripped or the external mains supply
could overheat. Check if the external mains
supply is equipped to handle the programmed
charge current. If necessary, reduce the pro-
grammed charge current or use a different
mains socket.
Before starting the charging process at a power
socket, check the maximum permissible charge
current for the relevant power socket or the
building.
You can set the maximum permissible charge
current
on the charging cable controls (only charging

The lower value of the two charge current set-
tings – on the charge cable controls and in the
on-board computer – determines the maximum
charge current. If you cannot set the precise
maximum permitted charge current, select the
next lowest available value.
