Charging process
Principle
The charging process can be adapted to con-
straints such as the cost of electricity, available
current sources, or a low ambient temperature.
The vehicle controls the charging process in
such a way that the charging process is com-
pleted if possible at the departure time. A de-
parture time must be set for this purpose.
General information
High or low outside temperatures can cause
longer charging times.
If the Mode 2 charging cable is exposed to
high temperatures and direct sunlight, this may
interrupt the charging process. Charging will
resume automatically.
A charging procedure is canceled or not
started due to the installation of a Remote
Software Upgrade. The charging procedure
may not continue automatically after the suc-
cessful installation.
Safety information
NOTICE
The charging socket flap and charging socket
outlet cover may be damaged by strain.
There is a risk of damage to property. Do
not strain the charging socket flap and charg-
ing socket outlet cover, e.g., by dropping the
charging cable.
