The￿driver￿has￿the￿option￿to￿restrict￿the￿maximum￿current￿level￿at￿the￿power￿socket￿via￿the￿"Settings"
submenu￿in￿the￿vehicle.￿If￿the￿current￿level￿at￿the￿power￿socket￿is￿insufficient￿or￿unknown,￿it￿is
recommended￿to￿adjust￿the￿current￿level￿to￿"Reduced"￿or￿"Low".
Charging￿with￿Level￿1￿(occasional￿use￿cable)￿should￿take￿about￿15￿hrs.￿in￿the￿US￿market￿but
this￿time￿varies￿depending￿on￿the￿on￿voltage￿supply￿and￿on￿the￿vehicle￿charge￿settings.
6.2.3.￿What￿must￿be￿observed￿when￿charging￿the￿high-voltage￿battery￿unit?
Filling￿the￿fuel￿tank￿while￿the￿high-voltage￿battery￿is￿charging￿is￿not￿permitted￿
When￿the￿charging￿cable￿is￿connected￿do￿not￿fill￿the￿fuel￿tank￿and￿keep￿a￿safe￿distance￿from￿highly
flammable￿materials.￿Otherwise,￿in￿the￿event￿of￿an￿improper￿connection￿or￿if￿the￿charging￿cable￿is
pulled￿out,￿there￿is￿a￿risk￿of￿personal￿injury￿or￿material￿damage￿by￿burning￿fuel￿for￿example.
Charging￿the￿high-voltage￿battery￿using￿a￿typical￿household￿power￿socket￿results￿in￿a￿high￿continuous
load￿on￿the￿power￿socket,￿which￿does￿not￿occur￿with￿other￿household￿appliances.￿Therefore,￿the
following￿information￿must￿be￿observed:
• Do￿not￿use￿an￿adapter￿or￿extension￿cable
• After￿charging￿plug￿the￿charging￿plug￿into￿the￿vehicle￿first￿and￿then￿into￿the￿wall
• Avoid￿tripping￿hazards￿and￿mechanical￿loads￿for￿charging￿cables￿and￿power￿sockets
• Do￿not￿insert￿the￿charging￿plug￿in￿damaged￿power￿sockets
• Do￿not￿use￿damaged￿charging￿cables
• The￿charging￿plug￿and￿charging￿cable￿may￿be￿warm￿when￿charging￿the￿high-voltage￿battery.
If￿they￿become￿too￿hot,￿the￿power￿socket￿is￿not￿suitable￿for￿charging￿or￿the￿charging￿cable￿is
damaged.￿Stop￿charging￿immediately￿and￿have￿the￿power￿socket￿and￿charging￿cable￿checked
by￿an￿electrician
• In￿the￿event￿of￿repeated￿charging￿faults￿or￿terminations￿contact￿a￿suitably￿qualified￿Service
