WARNING
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal pres-
sure of the high-voltage battery could exceed
a critical value. In this case, flammable gas
escapes through a vent valve in the vehicle's
underbody. The gas can ignite. There is a risk
of injury.
Leave the danger area immediately. Secure
the danger area at a suitable distance, whilst
observing legal requirements.

extension cables
-
extension reels
-
multi-outlet sockets
R
Never use socket adapters to connect the
charging cable to the mains socket. The
only exception is if the adapter has been
tested and approved by the manufacturer
for charging the high-voltage battery of an
electric vehicle.
R
Observe the safety notes in the operating
instructions for the socket adapter.
G
DANGER
Connecting the charging cable to the mains
supply via an incorrectly installed wallbox or
by means of adapters, extension cables or
