WARNING
The outside temperature display is not
designed as an ice-warning device and is
therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice. The road may
still be icy, especially in wooded areas or
on bridges. Your vehicle could start to skid
if you do not adjust your driving style
accordingly.
Therefore, always adjust your driving style
to the prevailing road and weather condi-
tions. Example illustration (U.S. vehicles)
i
Canada vehicles: The outside tempera-
ture display shows °C °Cinstead of °F
°F.
The outside temperature display 0043
appears in the multifunction display con-
tinuously.
A change of the outside temperature will be
displayed with delay. Control system
87>> Controls. Z

Freeze warning (Canada vehicles only)
When the outside temperature falls below
3¥, the multifunction display makes you
aware of the fact that the road may be icy.
An additional freeze warning, i.e. an ice
crystal symbol 0043, in the multifunction
display flashes. After 60 seconds, the
freeze warning stops flashing but contin-
ues to be displayed. When the outside tem-
perature rises above 3¥, the freeze warn-
ing goes out.
A change of the outside temperature 0044will
be displayed with delay. 88

Control system>> Controls.

This is useful:
R
if you wish to cool the interior of the
vehicle before driving
R if you wish to charge the vehicle at a
charging station/wallbox at the most
inexpensive electricity rate
With the "Air conditioning before start"
function, the vehicle interior is cooled
prior to a desired departure time.
Prerequisites:
R The doors and tailgate are closed.
R The charging cable for the high‑voltage
battery is connected to a power source
and inserted into the vehicle's power
socket.
R The high‑voltage battery has a suffi-
cient charge.
The maximum duration of "Air condition-
ing before start" is 30 minutes.
Set the air distribution of your vehicle as
follows so that the "Air conditioning
before start" function has the greatest
effect:
R in summer, to the center and side vents
R in winter, onto the windshield and side
windows
Information on air distribution can be
found on (Y page 102).
The setting of the airflow regulator has no
influence on the "Air conditioning before
start" function.
i If the programmed time is too short, the
high‑voltage battery cannot be com-
pletely charged. After setting the depar-
ture time, the maximum charge level
which can be reached is then shown.
i If the high‑voltage battery is not suf-
ficiently charged and the "Air condi-
tioning before start" function is acti-
vated, the high‑voltage battery is
charged first. When a charge level of at
least 20 % has been reached, the "Air con-
ditioning before start" function is acti-
vated. This function then has priority over the charging of the high‑voltage
battery.

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.
X Press and hold the control switch on the
control lever up or down until the
Charge Current Charge Current menu appears in the

lever.
X Press and hold the control switch on the
control lever up or down until the

X Briefly press the OK button on the control
lever.

i If differing values are set on the charg-
ing cable and the control system, the
high‑voltage battery is charged using
the lowest value. 92

If the vehicle needs more time to charge
the high‑voltage battery than usual,
