Setting the maximum permissible charging
current for charging at a mains socket
*
NOTE If the charging current is too high,
the fuse could be tripped or the external
mains supply could overheat.
#
Check that the external mains supply
has been designed to handle the set
charging current.
#
If necessary, reduce the set charging
current or use a different mains socket.
#
Before charging the high-voltage battery at a
mains socket, check the maximum permissi‐
ble charging current for the relevant mains
socket or the building. The charging cable
supplied is set to a country-specific maxi‐
mum charging current value. When charging
abroad, the maximum value may exceed the
permitted value for that country. When
abroad, observe the country-specific laws
when charging.
If you have questions concerning setting the
charging current or if there is a malfunction,
please contact a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
You can set the maximum permissible charging
current as follows:
R
On the controls of the charging cable (charg‐
ing cable version 2).
R
In the multimedia system menu.
The smaller value of the two charging current
settings – on the controls of the charging cable
and in the multimedia system – determines the
maximum charging current. If the exact value of
the maximum permissible charging current can‐
not be set, select the next smaller adjustable
value.
Set the maximum permissible charging current
in the multimedia system menu only in the fol‐
lowing circumstances:
R
It is not possible to set the charging current
on the charging cable (charging cable version
1).
R
The precise value of the maximum permitted
charging current can only be set via the mul‐
timedia system.
%
If the vehicle requires more time than usual
when charging the high-voltage battery,
check the maximum charging current set‐
tings using the controls on the charging
cable or in the menu of the multimedia sys‐
tem.
