WARNING
Follow the recommended settings for
heating and cooling given on the following
pages .Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
The air conditionin gimproves the leve lof
comfort when driving at high outside
temperatures by cooling and
dehumidifying the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle
filter before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system .It also operates when
the air conditioning is switched off and
you have switched on the blower.
The dehumidification of the air by the air
conditioner prevents the windows from
misting up when the outside air humidity
is high.
This effect can also be used to defrost the
windows. For this, make sure, in addition
to the air conditioner, that the heater is
on the maximum setting.
The air conditioner only works when:
R the ignition is switched on
R the blower is switched on
R the driver's door is closed
Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you
drive with the windows closed.
If the operating temperature of the
high‑voltage battery is too high, the
high‑voltage battery is cooled by the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner
switches on, the cooling output in the
vehicle's interior is reduced as a result.
The temperature in the vehicle's interior
may rise briefly.
If the air conditioner is not switched on,

the high‑voltage battery reaches the
nominal temperature again, the air
conditioner switches off automatically.
i The range of the vehicle is decreased
when the air conditioner is switched on.

High-voltage battery
Introduction
The components of the drive system are
indicated by yellow warning labels to make
you aware of high voltage.
High‑voltage cablesa
re orange‑colored.G
WARNING
The drive system is subject to high
voltages.
You may be seriously or even fatally injured
if you:
R tamper with components or high-voltage
cables in the drive system
R touch components or high-voltage cables
in the drive system on avehicle which has
been involved in an accident
R touch damaged drive system components
Do not remove any drive system component
covers which are marked with a warning
sticker. Do not tamper with components or
orange high-voltage drive system cables. G
WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive
system is located under the vehicle’s
underbody. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of avehicle fire,
inflammable gas will escape via a duct. The
inflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle. The drive system is powered by a
high‑voltage battery. The high‑voltage
battery stores and releases the energy
required for operation of the electric
motor.
The electric motor uses the energy that is
stored in the high‑voltage battery when
driving off and when accelerating.
When rolling, kinetic energy is converted
into electrical energy by energy recovery
and stored in the high‑voltage battery.
The range of the vehicle is reduced when
consumers are switched on, e.g. climate
control.
The high‑voltage battery can be charged in
a voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.
The high‑voltage battery can be charged
R through energy recovery while the
vehicle is rolling or when braking
R Level 1 charging - 110 V / 120 V -
A travel cord will be supplied with the
vehicle. This charging cable can be
plugged into commonly available
110 V / 120 V, 15 A power sources. This
charging method will take longer to
charge your vehicle than adedicated
level 2 charging source. Therefore it is
not recommended as the primary method
of charging.
R Level 2 charging - 220 V / 240 V -
For the fastest possible charging time, a
dedicated 220 V /240 V, 20 A circuit is
required. Local electrical code can vary
from town to town. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that this service is
professionally installed. This service
should be installed in a dry area with
easy access to the passenger side of the
vehicle. You will need to obtain avehicle
charge connector that can be wired
directly to or plugged into the dedicated
220 V / 240 V service. Charge connectors
will be available for purchase through
your authorized electric drive smart
center.
R Level 2 charging - Charging station 108
High-voltage battery>> Operation.
Use only charging cables which have been
approved and recommended for the vehicle.
Do not use:
R extension chords
R cable reels
R multiple sockets
R travel adapters
i When possible, only charge the
high‑voltage battery when the charge
level is below 80 %.
It is recommended to charge the
high‑voltage battery prior to reaching
less than 20% state of charge.
Discharged high‑voltage battery When the high‑voltage battery is
completely discharged, the drive system is
switched off. This protects the battery
from exhaustive discharge.
i By switching the ignition off and on
again, the drive system can be briefly
reactivate donce. This allows you to park
the vehicle safely.
Do not allow your vehicle to remain
stationary for more than 14 days with a
discharged, or nearly discharged,
high‑voltage battery. You can check the
charge level with the charge level gauge
(Y page 79).
High or low outside temperatures The efficiency of the high‑voltage battery
is temperature-dependent and decreases
at high or low temperatures .Additionally,
the electrolytes used can gel at very low
temperatures.
You can check the maximum capacity
available using the indicator in the
multifunction display (Y page 83).Energy consumption and range The available energy of the high‑voltage
battery is reduced by:
R
low outside temperatures
R switching on electrical consumers
At low temperatures and after being parked
for an extended period without charging,
the physical properties of the
high‑voltage battery:
R can cause a significant reductio ninthe
performance of the battery
R can lead to longer charging times
In extreme cases, you will not be able to
start the vehicle. For this reason, always
connect the charging cable or make sure the
battery is completely charged when
parking the vehicle in low outside
temperatures or for an extended period of
time.
Due to its physical properties, the
capacity of a high‑voltage battery
decreases over its lifespan.
Thus, the following are reduced:
R the maximum attainable range of the
vehicle
R the maximum performance output
(acceleration) of the vehicle
You can actively contribute to the
reduction of the vehicle's energy
consumption by:
R driving conservatively
R maintaining the vehicle regularly
R decreasing the use of electrical
consumers
Notes on battery care Avoid storing and transporting the vehicle
at high temperatures for extended periods
of time (e. g. container transport).
When out of use for longer periods of time,
connect the vehicle to a voltage supply.
If the vehicle is not connected to
avoltage
supply, it must remain within a High-voltage battery

When the vehicle is exposed to
temperatures below 003213‡(003225 ¥) for
longer than seven days, irreversible
damage by frost can occur.
