ses over the course of its life. Due to this, both
the maximum electrical range that can be ach-
ieved by the vehicle and its maximum electri-
cal output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage battery:
R
a high level of charge, especially if the
vehicle is idle for a lengthy period of time
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
Only charge the high-voltage battery with
direct current (mode 4) if necessary.
R
If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods,
park up the vehicle with a high-voltage battery
charge level between 25% and 30%. 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 (

R
Charge the high-voltage battery if the charge
level is below 15%.
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.
Depending on the equipment and national ver-
sion, your vehicle is equipped with one of the fol-
lowing vehicle sockets:

current (mode 2/3) and charging with direct
current (mode 4)
R
Type 2 for charging with alternating current
(mode 2/3)
