Online Edition for Part no. 01405A6B2E9 - X/22
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that, prior to your first use of a charg-
ing location, you have the compatibility of the
following components confirmed:
▷ Charging cable.
▷ Charging station.
▷ Domestic socket outlet and connected
circuits.
Warning
Damaged or worn chargers, for instance
worn contacts, can heat up. There is a risk
of fire. Only use chargers that are in good
condition.
Warning
Even when it is indicated that the high-volt-
age battery is discharged, the high-voltage
system is always still under high voltage.
There is a risk of fire or a risk of injury. Do
not touch or change live parts, e.g., orange
high-voltage cables, even when the batteries
are discharged.
Warning
Contact with live components can lead to an
electric shock. High voltage is present at the
charging connection. There is a risk of injury
or danger to life.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that work on the charging connection,
for instance cleaning, be performed by an au-
thorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
