age battery.
Safety information
Warning
Improper working with electrical current can
lead to an electric shock due to high voltages or
high currents. There is a risk of fire or danger to
life. Observe the general safety regulations
when working with electrical current.
Warning
A faulty and incorrectly designed charging de‐
vice at the charging location can cause damage
to the vehicle and overload the power mains at
the charging location. There is a risk of fire and
a risk of injury.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
that, prior to your first use of a charging loca‐
tion, you have the compatibility of the following
components confirmed:
▷ Charging cable.
▷ Charging station.
▷ Household socket and connected circuits.
Warning
Damaged or worn charging devices, for in‐
stance worn contacts, can heat up. There is a
risk of fire. Only use charging devices that are
in good condition.
Warning
Simultaneous charging and refueling poses a
risk of fire if a sufficient safety distance from
easily flammable materials is not maintained.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. Do not fill the vehicle with fuel and
charge it simultaneously.
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 recommends
that work on the charging connection, for in‐
stance cleaning, be performed by a dealer’s
service center or another qualified service cen‐
ter or repair shop.
