IMPORTANT
236) The charging current level ("Level
1" / "Level 2" / "Level 3", etc.) can only
be changed using the multimedia system
display (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle
mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia"
section). The default charge level set is
"Level 3". For countries in which the 13A
"Mode 2" charging cable can be used,
if the domestic power socket IS NOT
CERTIFIED, it is recommended to set
"Level 4" charge to the maximum, which
corresponds to approx. 10A. For the list of
country-specific cable types refer to what
is indicated in the "Mode 2 cable variant
table".
237) The set level applies indifferently to
both AC home charging (Mode 2) and
charging from an AC public charging
station (Mode 3). It is therefore always
advisable to check that the level is set as
desired for the actual charging type that is
about to be carried out.
238) Incorrect setting of the charge current
intensity can overload or overheat the
mains power supply of the domestic
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.
239) Incorrect connection between
connector and charging terminals
constitutes a fire hazard!
240) 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 "Charging
system failure" chapter in the "Power
sources that can be used" section.
241) The "Mode 2" charge cable must be
connected to a dedicated circuit that is
not shared with other devices that absorb
electrical energy.
242) Do not insert fingers or objects in the
cable charge connector.
243) The high-voltage battery must only
be charged through approved, earthed
domestic sockets or at a public charging
station using the supplied Mode 3
charge cable (for versions/markets where
provided).
244) Keep the charging flap closed when
the charging socket is not in use.
WARNING
85) 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.
86) Do not leave the vehicle or the
charging cable in areas where the external
temperature is below -40°C as they may
be damaged.
87) 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.
88) 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 vehicle system.
89) 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
vehicle.
90) Avoid leaving the battery for several
days with the charge indicator at or near
zero. The high-voltage battery may be
damaged.
91) 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.
92) Charging the high-voltage battery may
take longer if the temperature of the high-
voltage battery is high or low.
93) During charging, especially with fast
charging, battery cooling components may
be activated. Therefore, it is normal to hear
noises during this operation.
