DANGER Risk of death when charging at a
damaged socket
The charging process uses high voltage.
If the charging cable, the vehicle socket or the
mains socket are damaged, you could receive
an electric shock.
#
Only use an undamaged charging cable.
#
Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
ing, abrading or driving over the cable.
#
Have a damaged vehicle socket replaced
at a qualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
#
Never connect the charging cable to a
damaged vehicle socket.
*
NOTE Damage due to overheating of
charging cable and charge port
During the charging process, the charging
cable and charge port can heat up within the
permissible limits.
The permissible limit values are influenced by
the following factors:
R
the power supply system and the charging
cable are not damaged
R
the instructions for handling the charging
cable and the control element on the
charging cable have been observed
#
If the charging cable or charge port
becomes too hot, have the power supply
system checked.
*
NOTE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket
when the socket flap is open
#
Always keep the socket cover and the
socket flap closed when there is no
charging cable connected. This protects
the vehicle socket from dirt and damage.
#
Make sure that the socket cover is
closed properly before closing the socket
flap. This can otherwise result in damage
which may prevent the socket flap from
being opened again.
*
NOTE Damage to the vehicle socket or the
charging cable connector due to incorrect
handling
Do not use excessive force (maximum 67.4 lbf
(300 N)) to insert the charging cable connec-
tor into the vehicle socket as far as it will go.
You may otherwise damage the vehicle socket,
the charging cable connector or their con-
tacts.
#
If you feel there is increased resistance,
pull the charging cable connector out of
the socket and reinsert it.
