Understanding the charging cable for
mains sockets
Useful information
!
Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the
charging cable for other purposes. It may
otherwise be damaged.
Depending on the vehicle version, the vehicle
is equipped with different charging cable
versions. Charging cable versions differ in
their controls.
Only use a charging cable which is approved
by smart for this vehicle.
Do not leave the charging cable control panel
hanging loose from a mains socket. Other-
wise, this could lead to a bad contact with the
mains socket and to malfunctions when
charging the vehicle.
Never lift or carry the control panel by the
charging cable connector or the mains plug.
Only for charging cable version 1: before
charging at a mains socket, check the maxi-
mum permissible charge current for the cor-
responding mains socket or building. The
maximum value of the charge current is set to
the country-specific setting for the supplied
charging cable. When charging abroad, the
maximum value may exceed that of the coun-
try you are in. Observe the regulations spe-
cific to the country you are in if charging
abroad. Consult a qualified specialist work-
