Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features and functions
that are not necessarily available in your vehi-
cle, e.g., due to the selected options or coun-
try versions. This also applies to safety-re-
lated functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
General information
The vehicle can be charged using various
charging cables at charging stations or domes-
tic socket outlets.
Control and monitoring of the charging process
are handled fully automatically. When charging
with AC, the charge current level can be ad-
justed via iDrive.
Safety information
Warning
Working with electrical current improperly can
lead to 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 or incorrectly designed charging de-
vice at the charging location can cause dam-
age to the vehicle and overload the power
supply at the charging location. There is a
risk of fire and an injury hazard.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that, prior to your first use of a charg-
ing location, you have the compatibility of the
following components confirmed:
▷ Charging cable.
▷ Charging station.
▷ Domestic socket outlet and connected
circuits.
Warning
Damaged or worn chargers, for instance
worn contacts, can heat up. There is a risk
of fire. Only use chargers 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 refuel and charge the vehicle
at the same time.
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 recom-
mends that work on the charging connection,
for instance cleaning, be performed by an au-
thorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
