The charging process uses high voltage.
The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fuse for voltage surges in the mains supply. This electrical fuse may be blown during severe thunderstorms, for example, and may cause the building's circuit breaker to trip and the charging process to be interrupted. These functions help to protect the vehicle.
After the building protection system has been switched on again, the charging process resumes automatically.
Following an interruption in the power supply in which the building's circuit breaker is not tripped, it may take up to ten minutes for the charging process to resume automatically.
During the charging process, the charging cable and charging cable connector may heat up within permissible limit values.
The mains power supply and the charging cable are not damaged.
The instructions for handling the charging cable and controls on the charging cable have been followed.
The transmission is in position .
The vehicle is unlocked or the distance between the key and the vehicle does not exceed 1 m.
The hybrid system is not activated. The indicator on the multifunction display is off.
The charging cable is not taut.
Type 1 for charging with alternating current (mode 2 or 3)
Combo 1 for charging with alternating current (mode 2 or 3) and charging with direct current (mode 4)
Type 2 for charging with alternating current (mode 2 or 3)
Combo 2 for charging with alternating current (mode 2 or 3) and charging with direct current (mode 4)
The indicator lamp and status display light up white.
When the hybrid system is activated (the display is lit in the multifunction display), socket flap cannot be opened.
If socket flap cannot be opened despite the vehicle being unlocked, the charge socket flap can be opened by emergency release More.
Vehicles with a vehicle socket combo require only connection for the charging cable connector. Open only the upper part of socket cover .
Make sure that the charging cable is not taut when inserted.
The indicator lamp and status display flash orange and, as soon as the high-voltage battery is charged, green.
If the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the drive system cannot be started and the vehicle cannot be moved.
At the start of the charging process, the charge level display is shown in the instrument cluster with a charging prediction. The charging prediction either refers to the predicted charge level at the set departure time, or the time at which the high-voltage battery will be fully charged.
Depending on the temperature, the fan and battery cooling system may audibly switch on during the charging process.
If the vehicle is idle for lengthy periods and connected to the mains supply, the high-voltage battery will be recharged automatically as needed or when electrical consumers are activated (e.g. the pre-entry climate control).
