Safety information
Warning
Non-compatible charging cables or unsuit-
able charging stations can heat up and
cause damage to the vehicle. There is a
risk of fire. Use charging cables or charg-
ing stations for charging that are suitable
for the respective vehicle type.
A dealer's service center will be glad to
provide information about suitable charg-
ing cables.
Warning
Improper use of the charging cable can
prevent charging and lead to damage, for
instance cable fire. There is a risk of fire.
Use the charging cable only for charging
the vehicle, and do not extend it using ca-
bles or adapters.
Warning
Damaged charging cables can heat up or
lead to an electric shock. There is a risk of
fire or a risk of injury. Use undamaged
charging cables only.
Level 1 charging cable
The vehicle is supplied with a
Level 1 charging cable.
Level 1 charging cables can be used to
charge the vehicle from grounded house-
hold sockets. Charging at household socket
connections is performed with alternating
current.
When a Level 1 charging cable is used, the
efficiency values may differ from those
stated on the energy label.
Level 2 charging cable
The Level 2 charging cable makes it possi-
ble to quickly recharge at sockets of desig-
nated Level 2 charging stations using a spe-
cial plug. Charging is performed with
alternating current at designated
Level 2 charging stations. The charging
process can be completed faster than at
household sockets.
A charge current strength of up to maxi-
mum 16 A is possible.
The charging cable may be permanently in-
stalled at the charging station.
DC charging cable
The DC charging cable that is permanently
installed at the charging station makes is
possible to charge at DC charging stations.
Charging is performed with direct current
at designated DC charging stations. At the
higher capacity current connection of a DC
charger station the charging time is signifi-
cantly lower than with a household socket
or a Level 2 charging station.
During charging at a DC charging station,
an indication in the instrument cluster, re-
fer to page 225 , is displayed.
The DC charging cable is also referred to as
Level 3 DC charging cable.
