Ending the charging process

DANGER Risk of fatal injury when charging with a damaged socket

The charging process involves high voltage. If the charging cable, vehicle socket or mains socket is damaged, you could suffer an electric shock.

Only use an undamaged charging cable.

Avoid mechanical damage, e.g. caused by squashing, shearing or driving over the cable.

Have a damaged vehicle socket replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible.

Never connect the charging cable to a damaged vehicle socket.

NOTE Overvoltage in the mains supply can damage the vehicle.

The vehicle is therefore equipped with a device which protects it from overvoltage in the mains supply. This protection device may be triggered during severe thunderstorms, for example, and may cause the building protection system to trip or may interrupt the charging process. 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 without the building protection system being tripped, it may take up to 10 minutes for charging to resume automatically.

NOTE Heat generated by the charging cable and charging cable connector

During the charging process, the charging cable and charging cable connector may heat up within permissible limit values.

The permissible limit values are observed provided that:

The mains power supply equipment and the charging cable are not damaged.
The instructions for handling the charging cable and controls on the charging cable have been followed.

If the charging cable or charging cable connector becomes too hot, have the power supply equipment of the mains supply checked.

NOTE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket

Always keep the socket cover and the socket flap closed when there is no charging cable connected. This protects the vehicle socket from dirt and damage.

Make sure that the socket cover is closed properly before closing the socket flap. This can otherwise result in damage which may prevent the socket flap from being opened again.

Requirements:

The distance between the key and the vehicle does not exceed 1 m.

Depending on the national version, the vehicle is equipped with one of the following vehicle sockets.

Combo 1 vehicle socket

Press "cancel charging" button

Unlock the vehicle (only charging with alternating current mode 2/3).

The charging process is ended. The indicator lamp lights up white. The vehicle socket is unlocked.

Press and hold button

on the charging cable connector and remove the charging cable connector from the vehicle socket.

If you cannot remove the charging cable connector, repeat the unlocking procedure. If the charging cable connector is still blocked, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Close the socket cover and the socket flap.

Remove the charging cable connector from the mains socket, or from the socket on the wallbox/charging station, and stow the vehicle charging cable safely in the vehicle.

Combo 2 vehicle socket

Press "cancel charging" button

Unlock the vehicle (only charging with alternating current mode 2/3).

The charging process is ended. The indicator lamp lights up white. The vehicle socket is unlocked.

AC charging mode 2/3:

remove the charging cable connector from the vehicle socket within 30 seconds.

After the 30 seconds have elapsed, the vehicle socket will be locked again and the charging process will resume.

If you cannot remove the charging cable connector, repeat the unlocking procedure. If the charging cable connector is still blocked, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Close the socket cover and the socket flap.

Remove the charging cable connector from the mains socket, or from the socket on the wallbox/charging station, and stow the vehicle charging cable safely in the vehicle.

After the charging cable connector has been disconnected, the left indicator lamp on the vehicle socket remains lit for some time before switching off.
