ing the high-voltage battery in an electric
vehicle.
#
Never use damaged charging cables.
#
Do not extend the charging cable.
#
Do not use adapters.
#
Observe the safety notes in the operat-
ing instructions for the wallbox.
If charging at a wallbox without pre-installed
cable, use the optionally available charging cable
for wallbox and charging station (mode 3). The
charging cable is stowed in a bag in the boot/
luggage compartment.
Only use charging cables that have been tested
and approved by the manufacturer for charging
the high-voltage battery in an electric vehicle.
&
DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to dam-
aged components
Connecting the charging cable to a charging
station using a damaged component part
could cause a fire or an electric shock, for
example.
#
For charging stations with a preinstalled
charging cable:
R
Perform a visual check of the charg-
ing station for obvious faults, such as
massive damage to the housing or
charging cable.
#
For charging stations without a preinstal-
led charging cable:
R
For safety reasons, only use charging
cables that have been tested and
approved by the manufacturer for
charging the high-voltage battery in
an electric vehicle.
R
Never use damaged charging cables.
R
Do not extend the charging cable.
R
Do not use adapters.
#
Make sure to observe the safety informa-
tion on the charging station.
Most charging stations must be activated before
the charging process, e.g. using an RFID card.
Observe the on-site operator's instructions for the
charging station.
The amount of energy dispensed for the charging
process, shown by the charging station, may be
higher than the amount of energy actually absor-
bed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result
of different levels of charging losses and is descri-
bed as recharge efficiency. Charging losses occur,
for example, due to heat that builds up when the
vehicle is charging or from auxiliary consumers
that are switched on. Further information on
recharge efficiency can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
