Upper battery charge limit
Full charging of the high-voltage battery is
not normally necessary in daily vehicle use.
The upper battery charge limit limits the
maximum charge level.
— Move the touch slider to the desired value
in the charging settings of the Infotain-
The upper battery charge limit can also be
adapted during charging.
Lower batter charge limit
The lower battery charge limit defines the
minimum charge level for a stored charging
location. A minimum range can be ensured
with this function.
— Touch the
function button in the vehi-
cle settings in the Infotainment system
— Set the lower battery charge limit in the
profile of the charging location.
Following connection to a power supply, the
vehicle first charges up to the lower battery
charge limit. Only then are preferred charging
times, off-peak times or a departure time for
timer-controlled charging taken into consid-
eration.
Examples for AC charging
Volkswagen recommends the following
charging settings for AC charging:
Everyday driving - a long range is not re-
quired
✓
Upper battery charge limit: maximum
80%.
✓
Lower battery charge limit: a least 20%
at mild to warm outside temperatures
and 40% at cool to cold outside temper-
atures.
Driving long distances - a long range is re-
quired
✓
Upper battery charge limit: 100 %.
✓
Lower battery charge limit: a least 20%
at mild to warm outside temperatures
and 40% at cool to cold outside temper-
atures.
✓
Avoid standing times and drive off im-
mediately after charging.
Setting charging locations
Charging locations can be stored in the
Infotainment system. The vehicle auto-
matically recognises a stored charging
location and adopts the settings when
charging.
Location data
The Infotainment system uses the current lo-
cation data (geographical coordinates) of the
vehicle when a charging location is created or
used.
Creating a charging location
— Touch the
function button in the vehi-
cle settings in the Infotainment system
— Add and assign a name to a charging loca-
tion (maximum of five).
Removing a charging location
— Touch the
function button in the vehi-
cle settings in the Infotainment system
— Touch the
function button.
— Touch the function button to remove
the stored charging location.
Settings
All charging settings that were stored
in the charging profile are always valid
for the currently recognised charging loca-
tion. An active departure time is automatical-
ly taken into account.
— To charge immediately at the current
charging location, switch on the function
in the exit menu → page 31.
