& DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to dam-
aged components
Connecting the charging cable to a charging
station using a damaged component part
could cause a fire or an electric shock, for
example.
For charging stations with a preinstalled
#
charging cable:
Perform a visual check of the charg-
R
ing station for obvious malfunctions,
such as massive damage to the hous-
ing or charging cable.
For charging stations without a preinstal-
#
led charging cable:
For safety reasons, only use charging
R
cables that have been tested and
approved by the manufacturer for
charging the high-voltage battery in
an electric vehicle.
Never use damaged charging cables.
R
Do not extend the charging cable.
R
Do not use adapters.
R
Make sure to observe the safety informa-
#
tion on the charging station.
Most charging stations must be activated before
the charging process, e.g. using an RFID card or
via Plug & Charge. Observe the on-site operator's
instructions for the charging station and the notes
on Mercedes me Charge (see the vehicle's Digital
Operator's Manual).
The amount of energy dispensed for the charging
process, shown by the charging station, may be
higher than the amount of energy actually absor-
bed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result
of different levels of charging losses and is descri-
bed as recharge efficiency. Charging losses occur,
for example, due to heat that builds up when the
vehicle is charging or from auxiliary consumers
that are switched on. Further information on
recharge efficiency can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
