Planning to charge
General
Charging can be adapted to boundary condi‐
tions, for example, electricity costs, available
electricity source or low ambient temperature.
The vehicle controls the charging so that the
charging is completed if possible by a departure
time. To do so, a departure time must be set.
The following functions are available:
▷ Charge immediately.
▷ Charge in the time window.
If the drive-ready state is switched off, changes
can be made using iDrive. Settings for standing
air conditioning and loading process are accep‐
ted for planned departure times too.
