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.
During the charging process, the charging cable and charging cable connector can heat up within their permissible limit values.
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
The transmission is in position .
The vehicle is unlocked or the distance between the key and the vehicle does not exceed 1 m.
The drive system has not been started.
The charging cable is not taut.
Depending on the national version, the vehicle is equipped with one of the following vehicle sockets.
The indicator lamp and status display light up white.
When the drive system is started (the display is lit in the multifunction display), socket flap cannot be opened.
Only connection is required 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.
When the charging sequence for the ambient lighting is activated, the ambient lighting lights up for approximately 30 seconds as with the indicator lamp More.
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.
When the ignition is switched on, a lightning symbol appears next to the charge level display in the instrument cluster during the charging process.
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).
