If the high-voltage battery is new or has not
been charged for a long time, the maximum
charge level of the battery can only be reached
after several charging processes. This is for
technical reasons and is not a vehicle malfunc-
tion.
If the vehicle is not used for a long period

ter charging, the vehicle's electrical consum-
ers will not drain the high-voltage battery.
