GER Risk of death when charging at a
damaged soc ket
The charging process uses high voltage. If
th ech arging cable, theve hicle soc ket or the
mains soc ket are damaged, you could receive
an elect ric shoc k. #
Only use an undamaged charging cable. #
Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
ing, abrading or driving overth e cable. #

TE Damage due toove rheating of
ch arging cable and charging cable con-
nector During
thech arging process, thech arging
cable and charging cable connector can heat
up within their permissible limit values. The permissible limit
values are in0uenced by
th efo llowing factors:
R the po wer supply system and thech arging
cable are not damaged
R the inst ructions for handling thech arging
cable and the control element on the
ch arging cable ha vebeen obser ved #
Ifth ech arging cable or charging cable
connector becomes too hot, ha vethe
po we r supply system checked. *
N NOOTE TE Damaged or dirty vehicle soc ket
when the soc ket 0ap is open #
Alwayske ep the soc ket co ver and the
soc ket 0ap closed when there is no
ch arging cable connected. This pr otects
th eve hicle soc ket from dirt and damage. #
Make sure that the soc ket co ver is
closed proper lybefore closing the soc ket
