290 Driving and parking
cation devices in the vehicle or in close proximity
to the charging station. Be aware that parts of the
charging cable may be routed underground. If in
doubt, ask the charging station operator if this is
the case before charging the high-voltage battery.
The amount of energy dispensed for the charging
process, shown by the charging station, may be
higher than the amount of energy actually absor-
bed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result
of different levels of charging losses and is descri-
bed as recharge efficiency. Charging losses occur,
for example, due to heat that builds up when
charging or from auxiliary consumers that are
switched on. Further information on recharge effi-
ciency can be obtained at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Setting the maximum permissible charging cur-
rent for charging at a mains socket
* NOTE Overloading the mains socket due
to excessive charging current
If the charging current is too high, the fuse
could be tripped or the external mains supply
could overheat.
Ensure that the external mains supply
#
has been designed to handle the charg-
ing current provided.
For safety reasons, only use the charging
#
cable supplied with the vehicle or an
original Mercedes-Benz charging cable.
Mercedes-Benz thoroughly tests these
original charging cables for their suitabil-
ity for high-voltage charging of your vehi-
cle. Purchase these parts at a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre and obtain advice
there.
Check the maximum charging current
#
using the charging capacity shown in the
driver's display.
ohne
The charging cable supplied is set to a country-
specific maximum charging current value. When
charging abroad, the maximum value may exceed
the permitted value for that country.
Before charging at a mains socket, have the
#
maximum permissible charging current for the
relevant mains socket or the building inspec-
ted by a qualified electrician.
When abroad, observe the country-specific
#
laws when charging.
If you have questions concerning the charging
current or if there is a malfunction, please contact
a qualified specialist workshop.
