port door.
3. Open the DC dust cover. Plug in the DC vehicle plug into the DC
charge port on the vehicle. Make
sure that the DC vehicle plug is
fully connected to the DC charge
port. If it is not properly seated
then the charge may not occur.
Proper plug connection can be
checked by information on the
Driver Information Centre.
4. Follow the steps listed on the charging station to start charging.
The electric parking brake will
automatically apply once the
charge process has been started.
5. Once charging, the DC vehicle plug will be locked to the DC
charge port and cannot be
disconnected while charging is
active.
6. Verify that the charging status indicator illuminates on top of the
instrument panel and a horn chirp occurs.
Charging status 3 203.Caution

When the vehicle no longer needs to
use power from the charging station,
the charging process will be stopped.
Use the electronic key to unlock the
DC vehicle plug.
Energy can still be consumed from
the charging station when the
vehicle’s displays and indicators
show that the high voltage battery is
fully charged. This is to ensure the
high voltage battery is in optimal
temperature operating range to
maximise vehicle range.

204Driving and operating● Short flashing green – One hornchirp: Vehicle is plugged in. High
voltage battery is not fully
charged. High voltage battery is
charging. Flash rate increases
from one to four flashes as the high voltage battery charges.
one flash: 0–25% charge
two flashes: 25–50% charge
three flashes: 50–75% charge
four flashes: 75–100% charge
● Short flashing green – Two audible beeps: Vehicle is
charging but will delay by
programmable charging at least once before the charge is
complete. Flash rate increases
from one to four flashes as the
high voltage battery charges.
● Short flashing green – Four audible beeps: Insufficient time to
fully charge by departure time
due to the selected rate
preference. To increase the high
voltage battery state of charge at
the departure time perform a
delayed charging override.
Programmable charging 3 196.● Long flashing green – Two horn
chirps: Charging is delayed by
programmable charging.
Charging will begin later.
● Solid green – No horn chirps: Charging is complete.
● Solid yellow – No horn chirp: Vehicle is plugged in. It is normalfor the charging status indicator
to turn yellow for a few seconds
after plugging in a compatible
charge cord. The solid yellow
may remain illuminated
depending on the vehicle and if
there is a total utility interruption.
This may also indicate that the
charging system has detected a
fault and will not charge the high
voltage battery.
● No light signal (upon plug‐in) – No horn chirps: Charge cord
connection should be checked.
● No light signal (after indication of
green or yellow charging status
indicator) – No horn chirps:
Charge cord connection should
be checked. If connection is
correct, this may be due to a power failure and charging willbegin later. This may also occur
if the vehicle has detected a high voltage charging system fault.
● No light signal – Three horn chirps: Charge port door is open.
● No light signal – Horn chirps repeatedly: The power supplywas interrupted before the
charging process could be
completed. Repeated chirps will
stop if power is restored within
90 seconds.
To stop the alert, unplug the
charge cord or press ( on the
electronic key.
The charge power loss alert can
be disabled in the Info Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 90.
The system may be thermally
conditioning the high voltage battery
during any of the states mentioned
above, requiring electric energy to be
transferred to the vehicle.
If the vehicle is plugged in and vehicle power is on, the charging status
indicator will flash or illuminate solid
green, depending on the charge level.

and privacy
Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in
your vehicle. Control units process
data which is received by vehicle
sensors, for example, or which they
generate themselves or exchange
amongst themselves. Some control
units are necessary for the safe
functioning of your vehicle, others
assist you while you drive (driver
assistance systems), while others
provide comfort or infotainment
functions.
The following contains general
information about data processing in
the vehicle. You will find additional
information as to which specific data
is uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties and for what purpose in
your vehicle under the key word Data Protection closely linked to the
references for the affected functional
characteristics in the relevant owner's
manual or in the general terms of
sale. These are also available online.

Customer information259Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate,
"seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board
the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle
condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.Depending on technical equipment
level, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used when necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which is read out,
documents the technical condition of
the vehicle or individual components
and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations
and quality improvement. This data,
in particular information on
component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the
vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also uses operating data
from vehicles for product recalls. This
data can also be used to check
customer warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.
