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. #
Have a damaged vehicle soc ketre placed
at a quali/ed specialist workshop as
soon as possible. #
Never connect thech arging cable to a
damaged vehicle soc ket. *

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
