A Maximum charging current may vary depending on market.
NOTE
•
If the weather is very hot or very cold,
some of the charging current is used to
heat/cool the hybrid battery and the pas-
senger compartment, which results in a
longer charging time.
•
The charging time is extended if precon-
ditioning has been selected. The time
required depends mainly on the outside
temperature.
Normally several 230 V consumers are included
in a fuse circuit, so additional consumers (e.g.
lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.) can be
on the same fuse.
Example 1
If the car is connected to a 230 V/10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 16 A, then the car
will attempt to draw 16 A from the 230 V mains
power circuit - after a while the overloaded 10 A
fuse for the socket will be tripped and battery
charging stopped.
In which case, reset the fuse for the socket and
select a lower charging current on the control
6
unit.

Example 2
2,5
If the car is connected to a 230 V/10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 10 A, then the car
will draw 10 A from the 230 V mains power cir-
cuit. If additional consumers are connected to the
same socket (or another socket in the same fuse
circuit) then there is a risk that the fuse for the
socket/fuse socket will be overloaded and trig-
gered, at which point battery charging is stopped.
In such cases, reset the fuse for the socket/fuse
circuit and select a lower charging current on the
control unit - or disconnect other consumers
from the socket/fuse circuit.
Example 3
If the car is connected to a 230 V/10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 6 A, then the car will
only draw 6 A from the 230 V mains power cir-
cuit. Battery charging will of course take longer,
but then additional consumers can be connected
at the same time to the same socket/fuse circuit
as long as the total load does not exceed the
capacity of the socket/fuse circuit.
