Charging the vehicle
Online Edition for Part no. 01402989267 - II/18
A dealer's service center will be glad to provide
information about suitable charging cables.
WARNING
Improper use of the charging cable can prevent
charging and lead to damage, for instance ca‐
ble fire. There is a risk of fire. Use the charging
cable only for charging the vehicle, and do not
extend it using cables or adapters.
WARNING
Damaged charging cables can heat up or lead
to an electric shock. There is a risk of fire or a
risk of injury. Use undamaged charging cables
only.
Level 1 charging cable
The vehicle is supplied with a Level 1 charging
cable.
With the Level 1 charging cable, it is permissible
to perform charging from grounded household
sockets. At the power connection of a household
socket, charging is done with alternating current.
When a Level 1 charging cable is used, this may
produce efficiency values other than indicated on
the energy label.
Level 2 charging cable
The Level 2 charging cable makes it possible to
quickly recharge at sockets of designated
Level 2 charging stations using a special plug.
Charging is performed with alternating current at
designated Level 2 charging stations. The charg‐
ing process can be completed faster than at
household sockets.
If necessary, the charging cable is attached to
the charging station.
If a Level 2 charging cable is used, apply the cor‐
responding setting via iDrive, refer to page 217.
