The charging cable and connector will only
heat up within the permissible limiting values,
provided that:
R the power supply and the charging cable
are not damaged
R the instructions for handling the charging
cable and controls on the charging cable
are observed
If the charging cable or plug get too hot, have the mains power supply checked.
Protection device against overvoltage !
Overvoltage in the mains supply may
damage the vehicle. For this reason, the
vehicle is equipped with a protection device
against overvoltage in the mains supply.
This device may be triggered during severe thunderstorms, for example, and may lead
to the building's fuse being tripped and an
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 or tripping of the building's fuse, it may take up to 10 minutes for charging to
resume automatically.
Switch on the building's fuse again after it has
been triggered. Otherwise, the charging proc-
ess cannot be continued.
General information about the charging
procedure Pay attention to the important safety notes
(Y
page 209).
If you unlock/lock the vehicle from the out-
side, the charge socket flap also unlocks/
locks.
The charge socket flap is behind the bumper
on the right-hand side below the rear lamp
cluster. Charging the high-voltage battery via
the electrical outlet
Charging cable for mains sockets 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.
A charging cable for connection to the mains
socket is included with the vehicle. Only use
the charging cable included with the vehicle
or charging cables that have been approved
for the vehicle.
i If you use the supplied 12 A charging
cable to charge a high-voltage battery:
R the charge time increases considerably
R electrical consumption increases consid-
erably
Where possible, charge the high-voltage
battery at a charging station (Y page 216).
Only then can certified electrical energy
consumption levels be reached.
i The charging process can vary depending
on the power supply. Therefore, always
observe the local information.
i For short charge times (charging with
16A), connect the fast-charging cable to
the wallbox/charging station. You can also
use the optionally available charging cable
with the CE plug.
Information about charging from a wallbox
can be found at (Y page 215).
Information about charging at a charging sta-
tion can be found at (Y page 216).
Stowing the charging cable
The charging cable can be stowed in the bag
supplied in the trunk of the vehicle and held in place with the Velcro fastener. 212

tion lock and remove it.
X Secure the vehicle. Notes on 4MATIC vehicles
! Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with either the front or the rear axle raised,
as doing so will damage the transmission.
Vehicles with 4MATIC may either be towed
away with both axles on the ground or be loa- ded up and transported.
If the vehicle's transmission, front, or rear
axle is damaged, have the vehicle transported
on a truck or trailer.
In the event of damage to the electrical
system: if the battery is defective, the auto-
matic transmission will be locked in position
P. To shift the automatic transmission to posi-
tion N, you must provide power to the vehi-
cle's electrical system in the same way as
when jump-starting (Y page 432).
Have the vehicle transported on a transporter
or trailer. Tow-starting (emergency engine
starting)
! Vehicles with automatic transmission
must not be tow-started. You could other-
wise damage the automatic transmission.

WARNING
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher amper- age, the electric cables could be overloaded.
This could result in a fire. There is a risk of an
accident and injury. Always replace faulty fuses with the specified
new fuses having the correct amperage.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognize by
the color and value. The fuse ratings are listed in the fuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is on the fuse box in
the trunk (Y page 440).
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, components or sys-
tems could be damaged.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo- nents on the circuit and their functions stop
operating. Before changing a fuse
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(Y page 220).
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Make sure that the ignition is switched off
(Y page 189).
or
X When using the SmartKey, turn the Smart-
Key to position 0in the ignition lock and
