* NOTE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket
when the socket flap is open
Always keep the socket cover and the
#
socket flap closed when there is no
charging cable connected. This protects
the vehicle socket from dirt and damage.
Make sure that the socket cover is
#
closed properly before closing the socket
flap. This can otherwise result in damage
which may prevent the socket flap from
being opened again.
* NOTE Damage to the vehicle socket or the
charging cable connector due to incorrect
handling
Do not use excessive force (maximum 300 N)
to fully insert the charging cable connector
into the vehicle socket. You may otherwise
damage the vehicle socket, the charging cable
connector or their contacts.
If you feel there is increased resistance,
#
pull the charging cable connector out of
the socket and reinsert it.
