at or near zero. The high-voltage battery

may be damaged.

IMPORTANT

64) You do not need to wait until the high-

voltage battery level is low to recharge.

The performance of the high-voltage

battery is optimal when it is charged

regularly.

65) Charging the high-voltage battery may

take longer if the temperature of the high-

voltage battery is high or low.

66) During charging, especially with fast

charging, high-voltage battery cooling

components may be voltage activated.

Therefore, it is normal to hear noises

during this operation.

176) In order to reduce the risk of electric

shock or damage to the device, special

care should be taken when cleaning:

ALWAYS unplug the device from the

domestic power supply socket and car

ports.

WARNING

58) Do not charge if the external

temperature is -30°C or lower, as charging

is likely to take longer and the charging

device may be damaged.

59) Do not leave the car or the charging

cable in areas where the external

temperature is below -40°C as they may

be damaged.

60) In cold temperatures, the charging

cable may become stiff. Therefore, be

careful not to apply excessive force to the

charging cable as it may be damaged.

61) Do not use personal generators to

charge the high-voltage battery. This may

cause fluctuations in charging and the

voltage may be insufficient, resulting in

damage to the car system.

IMPORTANT

206) The charging current level ("Level 1"

/ "Level 2" / "Level 3", etc.) can only be

changed using the Uconnect™ system

display (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle

mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia"

section). The default charge level set is

"Level 3". For countries in which the 13A

"Mode 2" charging cable can be used,

if the domestic power socket IS NOT

CERTIFIED, it is recommended to set

"Level 4" charge to the maximum, which

corresponds to approx. 10A. For the list of

country-specific cable types refer to what

is indicated in the "Mode 2 cable variant

table".

212) Do not insert fingers or objects in the

cable charging connector.

roll up the charging cable correctly,

repositioning the protective cover

correctly on the charging connector

(where provided). When rolling up,

take care not to damage the cable.

Then store the cable together with the

charging kit.

207) The set level applies indifferently to

both AC home charging (Mode 2) and

charging from an AC public charging

station (Mode 3). It is therefore always

advisable to check that the level is set as

desired for the actual charging type that is

about to be carried out.

208) Incorrect setting of the charge current

intensity can overload or overheat the

mains power supply of the domestic

power socket. Fire hazard. Before charging

from other domestic sockets, adjust the

charge current intensity to the mains. If

you do not know the mains, set to the

lowest level. Never use extension cords for

charging.

209) Incorrect connection between

connector and charging terminals

constitutes a fire hazard!

210) During normal operation, the

domestic power socket can overheat. In

the case of extreme overheating, the

charge is interrupted and the warning LED

67) Do not charge if the external

temperature is -30°C or lower, as charging

is likely to take longer and the charging

device may be damaged.

68) Do not leave the car or the charging

cable in areas where the external

temperature is below -40°C as they may

be damaged.

69) In cold temperatures, the charging

cable may become stiff. Therefore, be

careful not to apply excessive force to the

charging cable as it may be damaged.

70) Do not use personal generators to
