WARNING

3 Valid for: hybrid vehicles

Charging the high-voltage battery with an

inappropriate charging cable could cause

short circuits, serious injuries and fatal

electrical shocks.

Charging cable information

Before using the charging cable, also follow

the instructions displayed on it and on the

rear of the protective device.

WARNING

The charging cable should not be used as

an extension lead. The charging process

could be affected.

Protection device

The electronic protection device Fig. 219

›››

ensures that the charging connector does

not receive current until it is plugged in to the

vehicle's charging connector.

CAUTION

Fig. 218 Charging cable for electrical sockets

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and

indications when using the charging sta-

tion.

Self-check

When the charging cable is plugged into the

electrical socket, the protective device auto-

matically performs a self-test. During this

check, all warning and indicator lamps turn

on briefly and go out one after the other.

Upon completion, the operational status at

that time is displayed.

Note

Charging with a 16 A charging cable is not

possible in some charging stations that

support 32 A. This depends on the features

of the charging station.

●

Before charging the vehicle, find out

about the available charging technology.
