Lights up red An impermissible current is
being supplied to the con-
trol unit. The high-voltage
battery cannot be charged.

Information on problems relating to the
charging process (Y page 218).
Setting the maximum charge current G
WARNING
If the charge current draw via a mains socket is too high during the charging process, the
external mains supply may overheat. There is a risk of fire.
Before charging, check the maximum permis-
sible charge current available at the location.
If necessary, contact a qualified specialist
company for assistance.
Adjust your vehicle's settings, if necessary.
! If the charge current is too high, the fuse
could be tripped or the external mains sup-
ply could overheat. Check if the external
mains supply is equipped to handle the pro- grammed charge current. If necessary,
reduce the programmed charge current or
use a different mains 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
mains 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 value in the vehicle corresponds
to the maximum charge value.
The default value on the charging cable is the
minimum setting. This corresponds to the minimum available charge current from the
mains supply. The value on the charging cable
can be increased and is described below.
i The value of the maximum setting and the
adjustment value may vary depending on
the country.
Before charging the high-voltage battery,
check the maximum permissible charge cur-
rent for the relevant power socket.
X To adjust the setting: press button?
repeatedly until the desired setting is selec- ted in display =.
R Two LEDs are flashing: minimum setting
R All LEDs are flashing: maximum setting
If, after the charging process, the charging
cable is:
R left connected to the power socket, the
currently selected values will be used for
the next charging process.
R removed from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the next charging process. You may then need
to reset the values of the maximum charge current.
i If the vehicle requires more time than
usual when charging, check the maximum
charge current settings using the controls
on the charging cable or in the on-board
computer's menu.

The vehicle starts in electric mode without the
internal combustion engine (noiseless start).
The internal combustion engine starts only
after the power demanded by the driver
exceeds the available power that the electric
motor can currently provide.
Noiseless start operation is dependent on the
outside temperature and the operating tem-
perature of the internal combustion engine. If
not all conditions for noiseless start operation are fulfilled, the vehicle starts with the inter-
nal combustion engine. X
