Starting the charge
To start charging, the ignition must be
switched off, the car must be unlocked
with the RFID key ring, and the parking
brake activated.
1. Connect the plug (1) to a
230 V/16 A socket
that can support a
continuous current of 10
A. All the LEDs on the control unit light up
for half a
second then the POWER warning
lamp lights up permanently. 2.
Open and hold open the vehicle's charging
socket panel (on the right-hand rear wing).
Ensure that there is no foreign body in the
connector terminals or the charging plug.
3. Push the charging nozzle (2) into the
charging socket until it clicks in place. The
indicator lamp on the charging shut-off
button (1) starts to flash.
-
C
omponent parts may be damaged by
incorrect use.
-
E
nsure that the control unit of the
charging cable is placed so that any
contact with water is avoided.
-
A
void introducing any foreign bodies or
particles into the connector terminals
or charging plug.
-
A
void treading on, folding or knotting
the cable or cord.
-
A
void using the charging cable during
a
storm.
-
D
o not place heavy objects on the
charging cable.
-
W
hen charging, keep the charging
cable away from objects that become
hot.
-
W
hen the charging cable is not in
use, stow it with its protective cover in
