soon as the electricity signal
registers normal values.

Setting the maximum charge current

WARNING
If the charge current draw via a mains socket
is too high during the charging process, the
external electrical system may overheat.
There is a risk of fire.
Before beginning the charging process, check
the maximum permissible charge current
locally. Consult a qualified expert to do so
where necessary.
If necessary, adjust your vehicle's settings.
!
An excessive charge current can blow a
fuse or lead to overheating of the external
power supply. Check whether the external
power supply is compatible with the set
charge current. If necessary, lower the set
charge current or use another power
socket.
You can set a limit for the values of the charge
current used in charging the high-voltage bat-
tery. This acts as a means of preventing the
power supply from overloading. You can set
this limit by using the controls on the charging
cable or in the on-board computer's menu.
Only set the maximum charge current in the
on-board computer menu if there are no
charge current settings on the charging
cable.
The default standard value is the minimum
charge current setting. This corresponds to
the minimum available charge current from
the power supply.
i
The value of the maximum setting and the
relevant adjustment values may vary
depending on the country.
Before charging the high-voltage battery,
have the maximum permissible charge cur-
rent for the relevant power socket checked by
an electrician.
