higher than the amount of energy actually absor-
bed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result
of di erent levels of charging losses and is descri-
bed as recharge e ciency. Charging losses occur,
for example, due to heat that builds up when
charging or from auxiliary consumers that are
switched on. Further information on recharge e -
ciency can be obtained at a quali ed specialist
workshop.

to excessive charging current
If the charging current is too high, the fuse
could be tripped or the external mains supply
could overheat.
Make sure that the external mains supply
#
has been designed to handle the set
charging current.
If necessary, reduce the set charging
#
current or use a di erent mains socket.
For safety reasons, only use the charging
#
cable supplied with the vehicle or an
original Mercedes-Benz charging cable.
Mercedes-Benz thoroughly tests these
original charging cables for their suitabil-
ity for high-voltage charging of your vehi-
cle. Purchase these parts at a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre and obtain advice
there.
Check the setting of the maximum

harging cur- ging cur-
charge current using the charging capa-
city shown in the Instrument Display.
Before charging at a mains socket, have the maxi-
mum permissible charging current for the relevant
mains socket or the building inspected by a quali-
ed electrician. The charging cable supplied is set
to a country-speci c maximum charging current
value. When charging abroad, the maximum value
may exceed the permitted value for that country.
When abroad, observe the country-speci c laws
when charging. If you have questions concerning
setting the charging current or if there is a mal-
function, please contact a quali ed specialist
workshop.
