2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE SUV HYBRID lights

If, after the charging process, the charging cable
is:
Rleft connected to the power socket, the cur-
rently selected values will be used for the nextcharging process.
Rremoved from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the
next charging process. You may then need to reset the values of the maximum charge cur-
rent.
iIf the vehicle requires more time than usual
when charging, check the maximum charge
current settings using the controls on the
charging cable or in the on-board computer's
menu.

iDepending on the temperature, the fan and
battery cooling system may audibly switch on
during the charging process.

from the wallbox
General notes
It is recommended that you charge your vehicle
using a wallbox or at a charging station.
Make sure that the maximum charging current is
not limited in the Settings
menu of the on-
board computer. You must select the maximum
value if charging at a wallbox or a charging sta-
tion (
Ypage 43).
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(
Ypage 29).

Charging the high-voltage battery at
the charging station
Before beginning the charging process at a
charging station without communication capa-
bilities, you must first activate the station, e.g.
using an RFID card. Observe the on-site opera-
tor instructions for the charging station.
The connection for the vehicle at a charging sta-
tion is identical to the connection on a wallbox
(
Ypage 34).
