1 Type 1 or type 2 connection forch arging with
alternating cur rent
2 Socketex tension forch arging with direct cur-

% When using a CCS (Combined Charg ing Sys-
te m) charging cable tocharge with direct cur-
re nt at a combo vehicle soc ket, bo thvehicle soc
ket connections 1and 2are used for
ch arging.
Charging options forth e high-voltage battery
(mode 2, 3 or 4):
R Charging through recuperation while theve hi-
cle is in motion
R Charging with alternating cur rent when sta-
tiona ry:
- at a mains soc ket (mode 2)
- at a wallbox or charging station (mode 3)
R Charging with direct cur rent when stationary
(vehicles with combo vehicle soc kets):
- at a fast charging station (mode 4)
Depending on the count ry-speci/c vehicle equip-
ment and your vehicle's charging cable, single
phase ACcharging is also possible.
Obser vethe di.erent grid requ irements of your
cur rent location when charging. Only use charging
cables which conform tothegr id requiremen ts.
Consult a quali/ed elect rician or your local grid
operator if you ha veany questions. It is
recommended that youch arge the high-volt-
age battery at a wallbox or charging station due to
th e impr ovedch arging per form ance and better
ch arging e1ciency o.ered.

The po wer output of the high-voltage battery may
be impaired bythefo llowing:
R High or low outside temp eratures
R Electrical auxiliary consumers in theve hicle
being switched on, e.g. operating the air con-
ditioning system
R Extended periods without charging

Connecting thech arging cable toach arging
station using a damaged component part
could cause a /re or an elect ric shoc k,for
ex ample. #
Forch arging stations with a preinstalled
ch arging cable:
R Perform a visual check of thech arg-
ing station for obvious faults, such as
massive damage tothe housing or
ch arging cable. #
Forch arging stations without a preinstal-
led charging cable:
R For saf etyre asons, only use charging
cables that ha vebeen tested and appro
vedby the manufacturer for
ch arging the high-voltage battery in
an electric vehicle.
R Never use damaged charging cables.
R Do not extend thech arging cable.
R Do not use adap ters. #
Make sure toobser vethe saf ety in form a-
tion on thech arging station. Most
charging stations must be activated before
th ech arging process, e.g. using an RFID card.
Obser vethe on-site operator's inst ructions forthe
ch arging station.
The charging cable forth eve hicle must not be
lon gerth an 30 m due tothe legal requ irements in
some countries. This is toprev ent the inter fer-
ence of signals being received byradio communi-
cation devices in theve hicle or in close pr oximity
to thech arging station. Be awarethat parts of the
ch arging cable may be routed under ground. If in
doubt, ask thech arging station operator if this is
th e case before charging the high-voltage batter y.
The amount of energy dispensed forth ech arging
process, shown bythech arging station, may be higher
than the amount of energy actually absor-
bed bythe high-voltage batter y.This is there sult
of di.erent le vels of charging losses and is descri-
bed as rech arge e1ciency. Charging losses occur,
fo rex ample, due toheat that builds up when
ch arging or from auxiliary consumers that are
switched on. Further information on rech arge e1-
ciency can be obtained at a quali/ed specialist
wo rkshop. Se Se
