Important safety notes
!
Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charging
cable for other purposes. It may otherwise be
damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a country-specific
charging cable for connection to a mains socket.
Only use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle or a charging cable approved for the
vehicle.
i
If you use the supplied 12 A charging cable
to charge a high-voltage battery:
R
the charge time increases considerably
R
electrical consumption increases consider-
ably
Where possible, charge the high-voltage bat-
tery at a charging station (
Y
page 186). Only
then can certified electrical energy consump-
tion levels be reached.

The charging process can vary depending on
the power supply. Therefore, always observe
the local information.

function due to an internal
malfunction. The high-voltage
battery cannot be charged.
If the control detects residual current or a mal-
function, the charging process is halted. Once
the malfunction has been rectified the charging
process is resumed automatically.
