DDAN ANGER GER Risk of death when charging at a
damaged socket
The charging process uses high voltage.
If the charging cable, the vehicle socket or the
mains socket are damaged, you could receive
an electric shock.
#
Only use an undamaged charging cable.
#
Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
ing, abrading or driving over the cable.
#
Have a damaged vehicle socket replaced
at a quali ed specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
#
Never connect the charging cable to a
damaged vehicle socket.
* NNOOTE TE Damage due to overheating of
charging cable and charging cable con-
nector
During the charging process, the charging
cable and charging cable connector can heat
up within their permissible limit values.
The permissible limit values are in uenced by
the following factors:
R
the power supply system and the charging
cable are not damaged
R
the instructions for handling the charging
cable and the control element on the
charging cable have been observed
#
If the charging cable or charging cable
connector becomes too hot, have the
power supply system checked.
* NNOOTE TE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket
when the socket ap is open
#
Always keep the socket cover and the
socket ap closed when there is no
charging cable connected. This protects
the vehicle socket from dirt and damage.
#
Make sure that the socket cover is
closed properly before closing the socket
ap. This can otherwise result in damage
which may prevent the socket ap from
being opened again.
* NNOOTE TE Damage to the vehicle socket or the
charging cable connector due to incorrect
handling
Do not use excessive force (maximum 300 N)
to insert the charging cable connector into the
vehicle socket to the stop. You may otherwise
damage the vehicle socket, the charging cable
connector or their contacts.
#
If you feel there is increased resistance,
pull the charging cable connector out of
the socket and reinsert it.
