interruption in the power supply. These
functions protect the vehicle. After the
building fuse is switched on again, the
charging process resumes automatically.
Following an interruption in the power sup- ply without tripping of the building's fuse, it
may take up to 15 minutes for charging to
resume automatically.
Switch on the building's fuse again after the
protection device against overvoltage has
been triggered. Otherwise, the charging proc-
ess cannot be continued. The high-voltage
battery will not be charged and you may not
be able to drive the vehicle.
If other devices are protected by the same
protective device, these are switched off as
well when the protective device is triggered.
Ensure that these other devices are still
operational after reactivating the protection
device. Charging the high-voltage battery via
the electrical outlet
Charging cable Important safety notes
! Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charg-
ing cable for other purposes. It may other-
wise be damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a single-phase
12 A charging cable. Only use the charging
cable included with the vehicle, which has
been approved for vehicle use.
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 140).
If you use the supplied 12 Acharging cable to
charge a high-voltage battery:
R the charge time increases considerably
R electrical consumption increases consider-
ably
Where possible, charge the high-voltage bat-
tery at a charging station (Y page 149). Onlythen can certified electrical energy consump-
tion levels be reached.
i The charging process can vary depending
on the charging station. Therefore, always
observe the local information.
Stowing the charging cable
The charging cable can be stowed in a bag in the trunk of the vehicle. To do so, the bag
must be secured to the cargo tie-down rings
using the retaining strap provided.
Controls on the charging cable :
A/C status indicator
; Control/protection system indicator
= Charge current indicator
? Charge current setting button
When displays :and ;on the charging
cable light up, this means the following: 146

backrest are not engaged they could fold for- wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.

pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt can no longer offer the intended
level of protection and could even cause
injuries.

compartment forwards, make sure that the rear compartment armrest and the
cupholder are folded in. They may other-
wise be damaged.
