When the programmable charging
system is disabled, the Unable to
charge screen will be displayed.
Programmed charging override
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, unplug the charge cord from the charge port and then plug it
back in within five seconds. A single
horn chirp will sound and charging will begin immediately.
To cancel a temporary override,
unplug the charge cord, wait for
ten seconds, and then plug the
charge cord back in. A double horn
chirp will sound and charging will be delayed.
Programmable charging 3 196.
Charging status
The vehicle has a charging status
indicator at the centre of the
instrument panel near the
windscreen. When the vehicle is
plugged in and the vehicle power is
off, the charging status indicator
indicates the following:
● Short flashing green – One horn chirp: Vehicle is plugged in. High
voltage battery is not fully
charged. High voltage battery is
charging. Flash rate increases
from one to four flashes as the
high voltage battery charges.
● Short flashing green – Two audible beeps: Vehicle is
charging but will delay by
programmable charging at least
once before the charge is
complete. Flash rate increases
from one to four flashes as the high voltage battery charges.
● Short flashing green – Four audible beeps: Insufficient time to
fully charge by departure time due to the selected rate
preference. To increase the high
voltage battery state of charge at
the departure time perform a
delayed charging override.
Programmable charging 3 196.
● Long flashing green – Two horn chirps: Charging is delayed by
programmable charging.
Charging will begin later.

204Driving and operating● Solid green – No horn chirps:Charging is complete.
● Solid yellow – No horn chirp: Vehicle is plugged in. It is normal
for the charging status indicator
to turn yellow for a few seconds
after plugging in a compatible
charge cord. The solid yellow
may remain illuminated
depending on the vehicle.
This may also indicate that the
charging system has detected a
fault and will not charge the high
voltage battery.
● No light signal (upon plug‐in) – No horn chirps: Charge cord
connection should be checked.
● No light signal (after indication of
green or yellow charging status
indicator) – No horn chirps:
Charge cord connection should
be checked. If connection is
correct, this may be due to a
power failure and charging will
begin later. This may also occur
if the vehicle has detected a high
voltage charging system fault.● No light signal – Three horn chirps: Charge port door is open.
● No light signal – Horn chirps repeatedly: The power supply
was interrupted before the
charging process could be
completed. Repeated chirps will stop if power is restored within
90 seconds.
Vehicle personalisation 3 91.
The system may be thermally
conditioning the high voltage battery
during any of the states mentioned
above, requiring electric energy to be
transferred to the vehicle.
If the vehicle is plugged in and vehicle
power is on, the charging status
indicator will flash or illuminate solid
green, depending on the charge level. This also happens during Engine
Assisted Heating if the vehicle is
plugged in.
If the vehicle is plugged in and the
charging status indicator is off, a
charging fault has been detected.Charge cord9 Danger
There is a risk of electric shock
that may cause personal injury or
death.
Do not use the charge cord if any part of the charge cord is
damaged.
Do not open or remove the charge cord cover.
Service by qualified personnel
only. Connect the charge cord to a
properly grounded outlet with
cords that are not damaged.
A portable charge cord used to
charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the rear floor
storage cover in the load
compartment 3 193.

240Vehicle careSwitch on the vehicle to release
steering wheel lock and to permit
operation of brake lights, horn and
windscreen wiper.
Shift the selector lever of the electric
drive unit into N.
Release the electric parking brake.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the vehicle is not running, considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap at the bottom and close.
Towing another vehicle
The vehicle is neither designed nor
intended to tow a trailer or another
vehicle.Appearance care
Exterior care
Locks The locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use de-icing agent only when
absolutely necessary, as this has a
degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing.
Do not apply waxes or polishes to uncoated plastic, vinyl, rubber,
decals, simulated wood, or flat paint
as damage can occur.
