In cases of damage, contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
R
Check the charging cable connector and
the charging cable coupling for rust or
corrosion.
In cases of damage due to rust or corro-
sion, do not charge the high-voltage
battery and contact a qualified special-
ist workshop.
G
DANGER
The high-voltage battery charging proc-
ess involves high voltage. If you use the
charging cable, the charging cable socket
or the charging cable connector incor-
rectly during the charging process, it
could cause a fire or you could receive an
electric shock. There is a risk of fatal
injury!
To avoid such risks, observe the following:
R
Do not pull out the charging cable con-
nector or the charging cable socket dur-
ing the charging process.
R
Do not charge the high-voltage battery
in temperatures of over 50 † and below
-40 †.
R
Do not drive over charging cable con-
nector.
R
Avoid sharp impacts which could dam-
age the insulating protective cover.
R
Do not pull on the charging cable.
R
Do not touch the charging cable in thun-
der and lightning.
R
Do not handle the charging cable con-
nector and the charging cable socket
with wet hands.
R
Do not use the charging cable for any
other purpose than to charge the high-
voltage battery.
R
Only use the supplied charging cable to
charge the high-voltage battery.
R
If you notice an unusual odour develop,
or notice smoke or burn marks, stop
charging immediately and contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
R
After charging the high-voltage battery,
store the charging cable in the charging
cable bag and keep the charging cable
out of reach of children and animals.
R
Check the maximum rating of the fuses of
the vehicle which is charged when sta-
tionary.
R
Check whether the external mains sup-
ply has a sufficient fuse in the building.
G
DANGER
If prior to usage the charging cable is not
prepared correctly, it could cause a fire or
an electric shock. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
To avoid such risks, observe the following:
R
Before using the charging cable for the
first time, remove the adhesive tape
which holds the cable together.
R
Unwind the charging cable fully before
every charging process.
R
Ensure that the charging cable is not
twisted. Otherwise, the charging cable
may overheat and the cable covering
may be damaged.
R
Do not insert any objects which conduct
electricity into the charging cable con-
nector or the charging cable socket.
R
Do not make any changes or modifica-
tions to the charging cable.
Since the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system is under high voltage, observe the
following:
R
do not tamper with high-voltage compo-
nents or the orange cables of the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system
R
never touch the high-voltage components
or the orange cables of the high-voltage
electrical system in a vehicle which has
been involved in an accident
