GER Risk of death when charging at a
damaged soc ket
The charging process uses high voltage.
If th ech arging cable, theve hicle soc ket or the
mains soc ket are damaged, you could receive
an elect ric shoc k. #
Only use an undamaged charging cable. #
Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
ing, abrading or driving overth e cable. #
Have a damaged vehicle soc ketre placed
at a quali/ed specialist workshop as
soon as possible. #
Never connect thech arging cable to a
damaged vehicle soc ket. *

TE Damage totheve hicle due toove r-
vo ltage in the mains supply The
vehicle is equipped with an elect rical fuse
which pr otects it against overvoltage in the
mains suppl y.This electrical fuse may trip dur- ing se
vere thunderstorms, forex ample, and
may cause the fuse in the building totrip or
may inter rupt thech arging process. These
functions pr otect theve hicle.
ATer the fuse in the building is switched on
again, thech arging process resumes automat-
icall y.
Fo llowing an inter ruption in the po wer supply
without the fuse in the building being tripped,
it may take up to te n minutes forch arging to
re sume automaticall y. *
