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 mains power supply equipment checked.
NOTE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket
Always keep the socket cap 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 cap is closed correctly before closing the socket flap. Otherwise, the socket cap could become wedged, thereby preventing the socket flap from being opened again.
Type 1 vehicle socket
Press and hold button on charging cable connector and remove charging cable connector from vehicle socket .
Charging at a mains socket (mode 2):
disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket and stow the charging cable safely in the vehicle.
Close the socket cap and the charge socket flap.
Type 2 vehicle socket
Locking status
Status of the charging process
Unlock the vehicle.

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

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.

Charging at a mains socket (mode 2):
disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket and stow the charging cable safely in the vehicle.
Charging at a wallbox/charging station (mode 3) without pre-installed cable:
remove the charging cable connector from the wallbox socket and stow the charging cable safely in the vehicle.
Close the socket cap and the charge socket flap.

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