result, the maximum electrical range that can
be achieved by the vehicle is reduced and its
maximum electrical output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage battery:
R
frequently fully charging (charge level
100%) the high-voltage battery, especially
when this process is not directly followed
by a journey
R
frequent rapid charging with direct current
(mode 4)
R
leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods
at high ambient temperatures
#
To avoid accelerated ageing, please
observe the following recommendations
when handling the high-voltage battery.
Recommendations when handling the high-voltage
battery:
R
Every six months, when the outside tempera-
ture is above 10°C, park the vehicle overnight
with a charge level below 20%.
R
Only charge the high-voltage battery with
direct current (mode 4) if necessary.
R
Charge the high-voltage battery on average to
a charge level of 80%. Beyond a charge level of
80%, the charging time is considerably pro-
longed.
R
If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods,
park up the vehicle with a high-voltage battery
charge level between 30% and 50%. Do not
keep the high-voltage battery continuously
connected to power supply equipment.
R
If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods of
time avoid, if possible, high ambient tempera-
tures.
R
Check the high-voltage battery's charge level
every six weeks (
/
page 303).
R
Charge the high-voltage battery if the charge
level is below 20%.
R
Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
vehicle is left idle for a lengthy period. Other-
wise, the condition of the vehicle's high-volt-
age battery cannot be monitored.
You can contribute to reducing the vehicle's
energy consumption in the following ways:
R
An anticipatory driving style (

page 270)
R
Reduced use of electrical consumers
R
Having the vehicle regularly maintained
The charging time of the high-voltage battery may
change over the course of its life.
%
Depending on the national version, your vehi-
cle is equipped with one of the following vehi-
cle sockets.
You can charge the high-voltage battery with
both alternating current (mode 2/3) and
direct current (mode 4).
