Setting the maximum permissible charging current for charging at a mains socket
NOTE Overloading the mains socket due to excessive charging current
If the charging current is too high, the fuse could be tripped or the external mains supply could overheat.
Ensure that the external mains supply has been designed to handle the charging current provided.
For safety reasons, only use the charging cable supplied with the vehicle or an original Mercedes-Benz charging cable.
Mercedes-Benz thoroughly tests these original charging cables for their suitability for high-voltage charging of your vehicle. Purchase these parts at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre and obtain advice there.
Check the maximum charging current using the charging capacity shown in the driver's display.
The charging cable supplied is set to a country-specific maximum charging current value. When charging abroad, the maximum value may exceed the permitted value for that country.
Before charging at a mains socket, have the maximum permissible charging current for the relevant mains socket or the building inspected by a qualified electrician.
When abroad, observe the country-specific laws when charging.
If you have questions concerning the charging current or if there is a malfunction, please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
