10 4,5–7,0
16 4,0–5,5
NOTE
•
If the weather is very cold or very hot
then some of the charging current is
used to heat/cool the hybrid battery
and the passenger compartment (pre-
conditioning (p. 129)), which results in
a longer charging time.
•
The charging time is extended if pre-
conditioning (p. 129) has been
selected. The time required depends
mainly on the outside temperature.
Charging cable plug and charging input socket.
Normally several 230 VAC consumers are
included in a fuse circuit, so additional con-
sumers (e.g. lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric
drill, etc.) can be on the same fuse.
Example 1
If the car is connected to a 230 VAC/10 A
socket and the control unit is set at 16 A, then
the car will attempt to draw 16 A from the
230 VAC 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 unit, see Charging the hybrid battery -
preparations (p. 288).
Example 2
If the car is connected to a 230 VAC/10 A
socket and the control unit is set at 10 A ,
08 Starting and driving
then the car will draw 10 A from the 230 VAC
mains power circuit. 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 triggered, at which
point battery charging is stopped.
In which case, reset the fuse for the socket/
fuse circuit and select a lower charging cur-
rent on the control unit - or disconnect other
consumers from the socket.
Example 3
If the car is connected to a 230 VAC/10 A
socket and the control unit is set at 6 A , then
the car will only draw 6 A from the 230 VAC
mains power circuit. Battery charging will of
course take longer, but then additional con-
sumers can be connected at the same time to
the same socket (or fuse circuit) as long as
the total load does not exceed the capacity of
the fuse circuit.
