that the charging process is completed at the
departure time. A departure time must be set
for this purpose, refer to page 156.
The following settings are available:
Immediate charging.
Set time window for favorable charging.
Set charging via a Level 1 charging cable.
If drive readiness is switched off, changes can
be made on the Control Display. Departure
time can only be changed once. Scheduled de‐
parture times are not adjusted. Settings for
standing air conditioning and loading process
are accepted for planned departure times too.
