Recommendations for handling the high-voltage
battery:
R
Every six months, when the outside tempera-
ture is above 50°F (10°C), park the vehicle
overnight with a state of charge below 20%.
R
Charge the high-voltage battery with direct
current (mode 4) only if necessary.
R
Charge the high-voltage battery to a state of
charge of 80% on average. Beyond a state of
charge of 80%, charging time will be prolonged
considerably.
R
If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods,
park up the vehicle with a high-voltage battery
state of charge 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 high ambient temperatures if possi-
ble.
R
Check the high-voltage battery's state of
charge every six weeks (
/
page 226).
R
Charge the high-voltage battery if the state of
charge 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 (

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.
You can charge the high-voltage battery with both
alternating current (mode 2 or 3) and direct cur-
rent (mode 4).

When you use a CCS (Combined Charging
System) charging cable to charge with direct
current, both areas of the vehicle socket will
be covered by the charging cable connector.
