Charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and precondition the vehicle. Charg-
ing is performed by connecting a charging
cable between the vehicle's charging socket
and a 120/240 V electrical socket (alternat-
ing current).
When the charging cable is activated, a mes-
sage will be displayed in the instrument panel
and an indicator light in the vehicle's charging
socket will illuminate. Charging current is pri-
marily used for battery charging, but is also
used for preconditioning. The vehicle's start
battery is charged along with the hybrid bat-
tery.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)
while charging is in progress – the
120/240 V outlet could be damaged in
such circumstances. Always interrupt
charging first and then disconnect the
charging cable – first from the vehicle's
charging socket and then from the
120/240 V outlet.
NOTE
•
In extremely cold or hot weather, part
of the charging current is used to heat/
cool the hybrid battery and the passen-
ger compartment, resulting in a longer
charging time.
•
The charging time is longer if precondi-
tioning has been selected. The time
required depends primarily on the
ambient temperature.
Fuse
There are normally several 120/240 V power
consumers in one fuse circuit, which means
that more than one power consumer (e.g.
lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.)
may use the same fuse.
