Depending on theve hicle equipment, the
mobile phone is connected totheve hicle's
ex terior aerial via thech arging module. R
The charging function and wireless connection
of the mobile phone totheve hicle's exterior
aerial are only available if theve hicle is
switched on.
R Small mobile phones may not be able tobe
ch arge d in every position of the mobile phone
st ow age compartment.
R Largemobile phones which do not rest 0at in
th e mobile phone st owage compartment may
not be able tobe charge d or connected with
th eve hicle's exterior aerial.
R The mobile phone may heat up during the
ch arging process. This depends on the appli-
cations (apps) cur rently running.
The mobile phone can be cooled in the mobile
phone st owage compartment when the air
conditioning system is switched on. The cool-
ing output in the mobile phone st owage com-
partment is highest when the controller in the

over the course of its life. As a
re sult, the maximum electrical range that can
be achie vedby theve hicle is reduced and its
maximum electrical output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage batter y:
R a high le vel of charge , especially if the
ve hicle is idle for a lengt hyperiod of time
R leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
at high ambient temp eratures #
Toavo id accelerated ageing, please
obser vethefo llowing recommendations
when handling the high-voltage batter y.Re
commendations when handling the high-voltage
batter y:
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods,
park up theve hicle with a high- voltage battery
ch arge leve l between 30% and 50%. Do not
ke ep the high-voltage battery continuously
connected topowe r supply equipment. R
If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods of
time avoid, if possible, high ambient temp era-
tures.
R Check the high-voltage battery's charge level
ev ery six weeks (/ page 225).
R Char gethe high-voltage battery if thech arge
le ve l is below 20%.
R Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
ve hicle is leT idle for a lengt hyperiod. Other-
wise, the condition of theve hicle's high- volt-
age battery cannot be monitored.
Yo u can contribute toreducing theve hicle's
ene rgy consum ption in thefo llowing ways:
R An anticipatory driving style (/ page 192)
R Reduced use of electrical consumers
R Having theve hicle regula rly main tained

during braking. Yo
u ha vethefo llowing options tocharge while
stationar y:
R Ata mains soc ket (mode 2)
R Atawa llbox or charging station (mode 3)
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 electrician 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

Driving and parking

The
charging process can vary depending on the
po we r supply equipment. The charging times
when charging the high-voltage battery at the
mains soc ket are considerably longer than when
ch arging at a wallbox or charging station.
When doing so, alw ays obser vethe local informa-
tion.
Do not lea vethech arging cable cont rols hanging
loose from a mains soc ket.
Do not liT the controls bythefo llowing compo-
