DANGER Risk of deat
h when charging at a
damaged socket
The charging process uses high voltage.
If t
he charging cable, the vehicle socket or the
mains socket are damaged, you could receive
an electric shock. 
Only use an undamaged charging cable. 
Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
ing, abr
ading or driving over the cable. 
Have a damaged vehicle socket replaced
at a q

ualiNed specialist workshop as
soon as possible. 
Never connect the charging cable to a
damag
ed vehicle socket. *
NOTE Damag
e due to overheating of
charging cable and charging cable con-
nector During the charging process, the charging
cable and c
harging cable connector can heat
up within their permissible limit values.
The permissible limit values are inOuenced by
the following factors:
= the power supply system and the charging
cable are not damaged
= the instructions for handling the charging
cable and the control element on the
charging cable have been observed 
If the charging cable or charging cable
connect

or becomes too hot, have the
power supply system checked. *
NOTE Damag
