Alfa Romeo Tonale Quick Manual page 25

31) Incorrect setting of the charge current
intensity can overload or overheat the
mains power supply of the domestic power
socket. Fire hazard. Before charging from
other domestic sockets, adjust the charge
current intensity to the mains. If you do
not know the mains, set to the lowest level.
Never use extension cords for charging.
32) Incorrect connection between
connector and charging terminals
constitutes a fire hazard!
33) During normal operation, the
domestic power socket can overheat.
In the case of extreme overheating, the
charge is interrupted and the warning LED
on the front of the cable control unit will
turn on. Refer to the table in the "Charge
system failure" paragraph in the "Power
sources that can be used" chapter of the
Owner Handbook.
34) The "Mode 2" charging cable must be
connected to a dedicated circuit that is
not shared with other devices that absorb
electrical energy.
35) Do not insert fingers or objects in the
cable charging connector.
36) The high-voltage battery must only
be charged through approved, earthed
domestic sockets or from a public
charging station using the charging cable
supplied separately as an option by FCA ("
Mode 3" charging cable).
37) Keep the charging flap closed when
the charging port is not in use.

WARNING
2) Do not charge if the outside
temperature is -30°C or lower, as charging
is likely to take longer and the charging
device may be damaged.
3) Do not leave the car or the charging
cable in areas where the outside
temperature is below -40°C as they may
be damaged.
4) In cold temperatures, the charging
cable may become stiff. Therefore, be
careful not to apply excessive force to the
charging cable as it may be damaged.
5) Do not use personal generators to
charge the high-voltage battery. This may
cause fluctuations in charging and the
voltage may be insufficient, resulting in
damage to the car system.
6) Charging the high-voltage battery
using incorrect or damaged sockets, or
charging cables and not following the
prescribed charging procedures may
cause short circuits, fire and potential
risk of damage to the electrical system of
the car.
7) Charging the high-voltage battery may
take longer if the temperature of the high-
voltage battery is high or low.
8) You do not need to wait until the
battery level is low to recharge. The
performance of the battery is optimal
when it is charged regularly.
9) During charging, especially with fast
charging, battery cooling components
may be activated. It is therefore normal to
hear noises during this operation
