Planning the charging process
General information
The charging process can be adapted to con‐
straints, such as the cost of electricity or avail‐
able power sources. The vehicle can control
the charging process in such a way that the
charging process is completed at the depar‐
ture time. A departure time must be set for this
purpose, refer to page 283.
The following settings are available:
Immediate charging.
Set time window for favorable charging.
Set charging via a Level 1 charging cable.
Intelligent charging.
If drive-ready state is switched off, changes
can be made via iDrive. Settings for stationary
climate control and charging process are also
accepted for planned departure times.
Intelligent charging can be ignored for the next
charging process.

"Charge immediately once"
Immediate charging
The charging process starts as soon as the
charging cable is connected.
Via iDrive:
1.
"My Vehicle"
2. "Plan charging/climate control"
3. "Charge immediately"
Setting time window for favorable
charging
When departure time is set, a time window for
charging with a favorable electricity rate can be
set.
Using iDrive:
1.
"My Vehicle"
2. "Plan charging/climate control"
3. "Charge for departure time"

The Digital Charging Service enables the time

tions. Further information about the Digital
Charging Service is available on the Internet:

The vehicle can also start the charging process
before the selected time window begins or end
it after the selected time window finishes. The
starting point of the charging process is ad‐
justed so the vehicle can be fully charged and,
if applicable, its climate controlled right up to
the departure time.
If drive-ready state is switched off, changes
can be made via iDrive.
The set time window can be ignored for the
next charging process.
