Ending the alternating current charging process (mode 2/3)

DANGER Risk of death when charging at a damaged socket

The charging process uses high voltage.

If the charging cable, the vehicle socket or the mains socket are damaged, you could receive an electric shock.

Only use an undamaged charging cable.

Avoid mechanical damage such as crushing, abrading 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 Damage due to overheating of charging cable and charging cable connector

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

The permissible limit values are influenced by the following factors:

the power supply system and the charging cable are not damaged
the instructions for handling the charging cable and the control element on the charging cable have been observed

If the charging cable or charging cable connector becomes too hot, have the power supply system checked.

NOTE Damaged or dirty vehicle socket when the socket flap is open

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.

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