When connecting or removing the
charging cable, be sure to grasp the
handle of the charging connector and the
charging plug. If you pull the cable directly
(without using the handle) the internal
conductors may disconnect or damage:
this may cause a shock or fire.
182)
The charging cable is a high-voltage
conductor. Contact with high-voltage can
cause serious personal injury or death.
Similarly, do not touch the orange high-
voltage cables.
183) It is strictly forbidden to use any plug
adapter or similar devices when charging.
Never use the charging cable together with
an extension cable.
184)
Never connect the charging cable
to an extension cable or multiple socket.
Multiple sockets, extension cables,
overvoltage protection or similar units
cannot be used together with the charging
cable as they may present a risk of fire,
electrocution, etc.
185)
The charging cable supplied as
standard is watertight and is guaranteed
by the Manufacturer: do not use other
cables not supplied by FCA.
186) Be sure not to touch the charging

Do not charge when the connector
and charging plug are wet.
188)
Do not charge in adverse weather
conditions (e.g. during thunderstorms) at
charging stations.
189) Always keep charging connector
and charging plug clean and dry. Take
care to keep the charging cable away from
water or moisture. Do not use chemicals
or solvents.
190) Be sure to use the designated
charging cable to charge the car. Using
any other charger may cause personal
injury or damage to the car.

the vicinity of the charging cable when it is
connected.
194) Position the charging cable in such a
way that it is not crushed by other cars,
trampled on by people, or positioned in
way that people in the vicinity of the car
may stumble, resulting in damage or
personal injury.
195) Disconnect the charging cable from
the domestic socket or charging station or
wallbox charging station before cleaning it.
196)
Do not use the charging cable if it has
damaged parts.
197)
Never disconnect the charging cable
from the domestic power socket or public
charging station during charging. Always
interrupt charging, then disconnect the
cable, first from the car-side charging port
and then from the domestic socket or
public charging station.
198)
Never use a visibly worn or damaged
electrical socket. It could cause fire or
serious damage.
199) The high-voltage battery should only
be charged with the maximum allowable
current or other lower current specified in
local and national recommendations for
charging high-voltage batteries.
200) The device is to be used exclusively
for charging the car.
201) Never attempt to make a repair
and/or perform maintenance on the
