Safety notes
WARNING
Incorrect handling of electric current can cause
an electric shock due to high voltages or pow‐
erful current. There is a risk of fire or death. Fol‐
low the general safety regulations when work‐
ing with electric current.
WARNING
A defective and wrongly configured charging
point at the charging location may damage to
the vehicle and overload the power system at
the charging location. There is a risk of fire and
injury.
Before the first charging process, have the
following components of your own charging
point checked by a qualified electrician at the
charging location:
▷ Charging cable.
▷ Charging station.
▷ Domestic socket outlet and connected cir‐
cuits.
WARNING
Damaged or worn charging points, for example
worn contacts, can heat up. There is a risk of
fire. Only use a charging point that is in perfect
condition.
WARNING
Touching live components can result in an
electric shock. High voltage is present at the
charging socket. There is a risk of injury or even
death. Have work on the charging socket, for
example cleaning, performed by a Service Part‐
ner of the manufacturer or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
NOTE
The connected charging cable and charging
cable connections on the vehicle may be dam‐
aged due to mechanical load. There is a risk of
material damage. Do not apply mechanical
loads to the charging cable and the charging
cable connections. Route the charging cable to
