If the charging cable, the vehicle socket or the
mains soc ket 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 b
y
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
ed or dirty vehicle socket
when the socket Oap is open 
Always keep the socket cover and the
soc

ket Oap closed when there is no
charging cable connected. This protects
the vehicle socket from dirt and damage. 
Make sure that the socket cover is
closed pr

operly before closing the socket
Oap. This can otherwise result in damage
which may prevent the socket Oap from
being opened again. *
NOTE Damag
e to the vehicle socket or the
charging cable connector due to incorrect
handling Do not use excessive force (maximum 300 N)
t
o insert the charging cable connector into the
vehicle socket to the stop. You may otherwise
damage the vehicle socket, the charging cable
connector or their contacts. 
If you feel there is increased resistance,
pull t

he charging cable connector out of
the socket and reinsert it. Requirements:
= The tr

ansmission is in position j.
= The vehicle is unlocked or the distance
between the key and the vehicle does not
exceed 1 m.
