Start charging9 Warning
Only use a domestic electrical
outlet which is properly grounded and protected by a 30 mA
differential switch.
Only use a domestic electrical
outlet protected by a circuit
breaker adapted to the amperage
of the electrical circuit.
Have a qualified electrician check
the electrical installation to be
used. The installation has to be in
compliance with national
standards and compatible with the vehicle.
When using a dedicated domestic electrical outlet, have it installed
by a qualified electrician.
Make sure that the electrical
outlet, the plug and the cable do
not support the weight of the
control box.
9 Warning
Do not carry out any works in the
engine compartment during
charging.
The vehicle can be charged at
domestic electrical outlets. Charging
an empty high voltage battery at a
domestic electrical outlet takes
approx. 7 hours.
A portable charge cord used to charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the rear floor
storage cover in the load

Driving and operating199
A portable charge cord used to
charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the rear floor
storage cover in the load
compartment 3 194 . The charge cord
is compatible with the domestic
electrical outlet of the respective
country. It includes a control box with
charging status indicators.
If the vehicle is to be used abroad,
check whether the wall plug of the
charge cord is compatible with the
local electrical outlets. If a different
charge cord is needed, consult a
workshop.
Important information about
portable electric vehicle charging
● Charging an electric vehicle can stress a building's electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
● Before you plug in to any electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions and
protection devices) for heavy-
duty service at a 10 A continuous
load.
● Electrical outlets may wear out with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making them unsuitable for electric vehicle
charging.
● Check the electrical outlet / plug while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet / plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.● When outdoors, plug into an electrical outlet that is weather-
proof while in use.
● Mount the charging cord to reduce strain on the electricaloutlet / plug.9 Warning
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause a fire, electrical shock, or burns, and
may result in damage to property,
serious injury, or death.
● Do not use extension cords, multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding adaptors,
surge protectors, or similar
devices.
● Do not use an electrical socket that is worn or damaged, or onethat will not hold the plug firmly
in place.
● Do not immerse the charging chord into any liquid.

200Driving and operating● Do not use an electrical socketthat is not properly grounded.
● Do not use an electrical socket that is on a circuit with other
electrical loads.9 Warning
Read all the safety warnings and
instructions before using this
product. Failure to follow the
warnings and the instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and /
or serious injury.
Never leave children unattended
near the vehicle while the vehicle is charging and never allow
children to play with the charge
cord.
If the plug provided does not fit the electrical outlet, do not modify the
plug. Arrange for a qualified
electrician to inspect the electrical
outlet.
Do not put fingers into the electric
vehicle connector.

Charge cord status indicators
After plugging in the charge cord, it
will perform a quick self test and all
status indicators come on for a
moment. Verify the status:
● ! Power
Illuminates yellow: Connection
has been established. The
charge cord is ready to charge
the vehicle.
● 7 Charge
Illuminates green: Charging is
complete.
Flashes green: High voltage
battery is not fully charged.
Charging process is going on or programmable charging is active.
● + Fault
Illuminates red: Fault.
Check whether the connections
to the charge port and to the
electrical outlet are correct. Make
sure that the electrical installation and the charge cord are not
damaged.
If no status indicator comes on, verify the circuit breaker of the electrical
outlet:
● If the circuit breaker has broken, contact a qualified electrician to
verify the compatibility of the electrical installation and repair it.
● If the circuit breaker has not broken, the charge chord may bedefective. Do not use the charge
chord and contact a workshop.

Driving and operating201Grounding instructionsThis product must be grounded. If this
product should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that
has a grounding conductor. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.9 Warning
Improper connection of the charge
cord ground may cause electrical
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if there is doubt as to
whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product.
If it will not fit the electrical outlet,
have a proper electrical outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with
fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol
(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended octane rating. A lower octane rating can reduce engine power and torque
and slightly increases fuel
consumption.
Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel with a lower octane
rating than the lowest possible
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
The engine specific requirements
regarding octane rating are given in
the engine data overview 3 260. A
country-specific label at the fuel filler
flap can supersede the requirement.
In certain countries, the use of a
particular fuel, e.g. a specific octane
rating, may be required to ensure
proper engine operation.

202Driving and operatingFuel for diesel enginesThe Diesel engines are compatible
with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and
and can be obtained from filling
stations:
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your
Diesel engines. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
application of the special servicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
For more information, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.Caution
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is
strictly prohibited (risk of damage
to the engine and fuel system).
Notice
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the
B715000 standard.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0 °C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends may clog, freeze or gel, which mayaffect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0 °C.
