Warning
Contact with live components can lead to
an electric shock. High voltage is present
at the charging connection. There is a risk
of injury or danger to life.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that work on the charging connec-
tion, for instance cleaning, be performed
by a dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
Charging cable
General information
Use a Level 1 charging cable, Level 2 charg-
ing cable or the permanently installed
charging cable of a charging station to
charge the vehicle.
Different charging cables can be required
depending on the country.
Safety information
Warning
Non-compatible charging cables or unsuit-
able charging stations can heat up and
cause damage to the vehicle. There is a
risk of fire. Use charging cables or charg-
ing stations for charging that are suitable
for the respective vehicle type.
A dealer's service center will be glad to
provide information about suitable charg-
ing cables.
Warning
Improper use of the charging cable can
prevent charging and lead to damage, for
instance cable fire. There is a risk of fire.
Use the charging cable only for charging
the vehicle, and do not extend it using ca-
bles or adapters.
Warning
Damaged charging cables can heat up or
lead to an electric shock. There is a risk of
fire or a risk of injury. Use undamaged
charging cables only.
Level 1 charging cable
The vehicle is supplied with a
Level 1 charging cable.
Level 1 charging cables can be used to
charge the vehicle from grounded house-
hold sockets. Charging at household socket
connections is performed with alternating
current.
When a Level 1 charging cable is used, the
efficiency values may differ from those
stated on the energy label.
Level 2 charging cable
The Level 2 charging cable makes it possi-
ble to quickly recharge at sockets of desig-
nated Level 2 charging stations using a spe-
cial plug. Charging is performed with
alternating current at designated
Level 2 charging stations. The charging
process can be completed faster than at
household sockets.
A charge current strength of up to maxi-
mum 16 A is possible.
The charging cable may be permanently in-
stalled at the charging station.
