high‑voltage battery immediately This function allows you to start the charg-
ing process immediately. The charging
process begins as soon as the charging
cable is connected.
i The charging process also begins when
you insert the charging cable into the
vehicle's power socket. However, this is
only the case if you have not made any
departure time settings.

WARNING
When connected to a power supply socket, a
high electrical load during the charging
process can lead to overheating of the
external power supply. There is a risk of
fire.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current on site before you begin the charg-
ing process. Contact an authorized electric
drive smart center should you require
assistance. If necessary, adjust the set-
tings of your vehicle.
You can limit the charge current of the
high‑voltage battery. This can protect the
power supply from overloading. You can set
the limit either on the control unit of the
charging cable or via the control system.
The preset standard value is "Max". This
corresponds to the maximum available
charge current of the power supply.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current for the respective power supply
socket before charging the high‑voltage
battery.
The following values are available for
selection: 8 A,12 A,Max. The last value set
remains stored until a change is made.
