sonal injury, e.g., from burning cables. Informa‐
tion about the approved charging cables can
be obtained from the service center.◀
Use the charging cable only for charging
the vehicle, and do not extend it
Use the charging cable only for charging the
vehicle and do not extend it with cables or
adapters. Otherwise, it may not be possible to
complete the charging process or property
damage might occur, e.g., due to a cable fire.◀
Do not use any damaged charging cables
Do not use any damaged charging ca‐
bles. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury from
high voltage.◀
Level 1 charging cable
With the Level 1 charging cable, it is permissi‐
ble to perform charging from grounded house‐
hold sockets. At the power connection of a
household socket, charging is done with alter‐
nating current.
When a Level 1 charging cable is used, this
may produce efficiency values other than indi‐
cated on the energy label.
Level 2 charging cable
The Level 2 charging cable makes it possible
to recharge at sockets of designated
Level 2 charging stations using a special plug.
Charging is performed with alternating current
at designated Level 2 charging stations. The
charging process can be completed faster than
at household sockets.
If necessary, the charging cable is attached to
the charging station.
If a Level 2 charging cable is used, apply the
corresponding setting on the Control Display,
refer to page 166.
DC charging cable
The DC charging cable that is permanently in‐
stalled at the charging station makes is possi‐
ble to charge at DC charging stations. Charg‐
ing is performed with direct current at
designated DC charging stations. At the higher
lidacity current connection of a DC charger
station the charging time is significantly lower
than with a household socket or a level 2
charging station.
During charging at a DC charging station, an
indication in the instrument cluster, refer to
page 166, is displayed.
Storage
The Level 1 charging cable is located in the ca‐
ble compartment under the hood.
The Level 2 charging cable can be stored in
the same place.
Moisture can penetrate into the occasional use
cable compartment, e.g. in a car wash.
If required, store the charging cable with the
installed plug cover to prevent moisture in the
charging cable plug.
