At the start of the charging process, the charge
level display is shown in the driver display with a
charging prediction. The charging prediction is the
point in time at which the high-voltage battery will
be fully charged.
%
Depending on the temperature, the fan and
battery cooling system may audibly switch on
during the charging process.
%
If the vehicle is idle for lengthy periods and
connected to the mains supply, the high-volt-
age battery will be recharged automatically as
needed or when electrical consumers are
activated (e.g. the pre-entry climate control).
%
The vehicle is equipped with a fuse against
overvoltages in the mains supply. This fuse
can respond e.g. in severe storms and result
in triggering of the building fuse and charging
interruption. These functions serve to protect
the vehicle.
After switching the building fuse back on
again the charging process is automatically
continued. During a charge interruption with-
out triggering the building fuse it may take up
to ten minutes for the charging process to
continue automatically.
