Charging the high-voltage battery
30
The vehicle's high voltage electrical system is
under high voltage.
Do not tamper with the high-voltage compo-
R
nents or the orange cables of the high-voltage
electrical system.
Do not touch high-voltage components or the
R
orange cables of the high-voltage electrical
system when a vehicle has been involved in a
crash.
Never touch damaged components or the
R
damaged orange cables of the high-voltage
electrical system.
Do not remove the covers of the high-voltage
R
electrical system components that are
marked with a warning sticker.
General notes
Charging options
The high-voltage battery can be charged as fol-
lows:
through recuperation while the vehicle is in
R
motion
by the combustion engine in the CHARGE
R
operating mode while the vehicle is in motion
(

with the corresponding charging cable at a
R
mains socket while the vehicle is stationary
(mode 2)
from a wallbox while the vehicle is stationary
R
(mode 3)
at a charging station while the vehicle is sta-
R
tionary (mode 3)
The high-voltage battery can be charged in a
nominal voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.
You can view the condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery in the multifunction display.
Information about this can be found under
"Energy flow display" (
Stationary charging
Only use the charging cable included with the
vehicle, which has been approved for vehicle
use.
If a charging cable is connected to the vehicle,
you cannot start or move the vehicle.
Depending on the temperature, the fan and bat-
tery cooling system may audibly switch on dur-
ing the charging process.

As soon as the charging process begins, you can
display the charging prediction on the
board computer menu. The charging prediction
displays either:
the predicted condition of charge at the set
R
departure time
or the time at which the high-voltage battery
R
will be fully charged (
The charging speed or charge time depends on
the power supply.
For short charge times, charge the vehicle:
at a CEE mains socket (mode 2)

Always observe the local information.
Certified electric energy consumption levels can
only be reached by charging at a charging sta-
tion.
It may take longer to charge the high-voltage
battery in the following conditions:
at low outside temperatures
R
if the vehicle has been idle for an extended
R
period without charging the high-voltage bat-
tery
The high-voltage battery is fully charged when:
the condition of charge display reaches 100%
R
in the multifunction display (
the indicator lamp on the vehicle socket lights
R
up green after unlocking or locking the vehicle
Handling the charging cable and charg-
ing cable controls
Always read the notes on the charging cable on
the inside of the charge socket flap.
Do not leave the charging cable controls
(
page 32) hanging loose from an electrical
Y
outlet. Otherwise, this could result in poor con-
tact with the electrical outlet and malfunctions
when charging the vehicle.
Never lift or carry the controls by the charging
cable connector or the mains plug.
Equipment for overvoltage protection
!
Overvoltages in the mains supply can dam-
age the vehicle. The vehicle is therefore
equipped with a device which protects it from
overvoltage in the mains supply. This device
may be triggered during severe thunder-
