Charging the high-voltage
battery
Introduction
3 V
alid for: hybrid vehicles
Check that the driving mode is deactivated
and that the charging cable and infrastruc-
ture are in perfect condition.
Charging modes
Your vehicle has the following possible charg-
ing modes:
●
Fix
ed AC (alternating current) charging sta-
tion or Wallbox, also known as Mode 3 charg-
ing
›››
page 310: The vehicle can be charg-
ed at maximum power at these stations, e.g.
at a public charging station or home Wallbox.
●
Portable charging station or ICCB (In-Ca-
ble Control Box) cable, also known as Mode 2
charging or cable
›››
page 310: The Mode 2
cable is included as standard and is connec-
ted to a conventional household electrical
socket, meaning that the maximum power will
be limited
›››
. You must plan for a longer
char
ging time, e.g. overnight.
The home's electrical installation must be
verified and in perfect condition.
Direct current (DC) or Mode 4 charging is not
compatible with this vehicle.
Differential protection
The vehicle is fitted with a direct current leak-
age (DC leakage) protection device. This
prevents any DC leaks that may occur during
charging from flowing into the home’s electri-
cal installation through the charging cable.
WARNING
Charging the battery improperly, failing to
observ
e generally applicable safety meas-
ures, using unsuitable or damaged elec-
tricity sockets and charging cables, charg-
ing from an unsuitable electrical installa-
tion or incorrectly handling the high-volt-
age battery can cause short circuits, elec-
trical dischar
ges, explosions, fires, burns,
serious injury and even death.
●
Always follow the steps in the order in
which they are shown to avoid the risk of an
electrical discharge and serious injury
caused by the residual energy present in
the charging accumulator. Never pull on
the mains connector during charging.
●
Only charge the vehicle from correctly
installed power sockets that have been
tested and are undamaged, and from elec-
trical installations in a perfect state of re-
pair. Get specialized personnel to periodi-
cally inspect the power sockets and the
electrical installation.
●
Only plug in the charging cable to an
electrical socket that is protected from wa-
ter, humidity and other liquids.
●
Never charge the vehicle in potentially
explosive atmospheres. The components of
the charging cable can cause sparks and,
therefore, may ignite flammable or explo-
sive vapours.
●
Never use damaged charging connectors
or cables. Before each use, check that the
connector and charging cable are not
damaged.
●
Never use the charging cable with an ex-
tension lead, rolled cable, power strip or
adapter, e.g. adapter for other countries or
timer.
