When using a CCS (Combined Charging 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 stationar y:
- at a rapid 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 requ irements.
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
The charging time of the high-voltage battery may
be increased bythefo llowing:
R High or low outside temp eratures R
Extended periods without charging
R The maximum available charge cur rent of the
