Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
#

damaged vehicle socket.
* NOTE Damage due to overheating of
charging cable and charging cable con-
nector
During the charging process, the charging

up within their permissible limit values.
The permissible limit values are influenced by
the following factors:
the power supply system and the charging
R
cable are not damaged
the instructions for handling the charging
R
cable and the control element on the
charging cable have been observed
If the charging cable or charging cable
#
connector becomes too hot, have the
power supply system checked.
* NOTE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket

Always keep the socket cover and the
#
socket flap closed when there is no
charging cable connected. This protects
the vehicle socket from dirt and damage.

closed properly before closing the socket
flap. This can otherwise result in damage
which may prevent the socket flap from
being opened again.
