When doing so, always observe the local informa-
tion.
Do not leave the charging cable controls hanging
loose from a mains socket.
Do not lift the controls by the following compo-
nent parts:
the charging cable connector
R
the mains plug

When charging, protect the charging cable control
element from excessive heat such as direct sun-
light. Otherwise, the charging process may be
cancelled.

the vehicle to the charging station, this can
result in fire or an electric shock, for example.
Perform a visual inspection of the charg-
#
ing station for obvious defects, e.g. dam-
age to the housing or on the charging
cable connection.
