cation devices in the vehicle or in close proximity
to the charging station. Be aware that parts of the
charging cable may be routed underground. If in
doubt, ask the charging station operator if this is
the case before charging the high-voltage battery.
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.
Setting the maximum permissible charging cur-
rent for charging at a mains socket
* NOTE Overloading the mains socket due
to excessive charging current
If the charging current is too high, the fuse
could be tripped or the external mains supply
could overheat.
Make sure that the external mains supply
#
has been designed to handle the set
charging current.
If necessary, reduce the set charging
#
current or use a different mains socket.
For safety reasons, only use the charging
#
cable supplied with the vehicle or an
original Mercedes-Benz charging cable.
Mercedes-Benz thoroughly tests these
original charging cables for their suitabil-
ity for high-voltage charging of your vehi-
cle. Purchase these parts at a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre and obtain advice
there.

Before charging at a mains socket, have the maxi-
mum permissible charging current for the relevant
mains socket or the building inspected by a quali-
fied electrician. The charging cable supplied is set
to a country-specific maximum charging current
value. When charging abroad, the maximum value
may exceed the permitted value for that country.
When abroad, observe the country-specific laws
when charging. If you have questions concerning
setting the charging current or if there is a mal-
function, please contact a qualified specialist
workshop.
