fuse MERCEDES-BENZ GLE SUV HYBRID 2017 W166 Owner's Manual

To ensure that the brackets within the charging
cable controls are not subjected to incorrect
loads, observe the following:
RNever lift or carry the controls by the charging
cable connector or the mains plug.
RTo transport the charging cable, the charging
cable can be:
-wrapped around the controls or
-secured to the housing of the controls
Heat generated by the charging cable
and charging cable connector
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Ypage 29).
During the charging process, the charging cable
and charging cable connector may heat up.
The charging cable and the charging cable con-
nector will only heat up within the permissible
limiting values, provided that:
Rthe power supply and the charging cable are
not damaged
Rthe instructions for handling the charging
cable and controls on the charging cable are
observed
If the charging cable or charging cable connec-
tor become too hot, have the mains power sup-
ply checked.
Protection device against overvoltage
!Overvoltage in the mains supply may dam-
age the vehicle. For this reason, the vehicle is
equipped with a protection device against
overvoltage in the mains supply. This device
may be triggered during severe thunder-
storms, for example, and may lead to the buil-
ding's fuse being tripped and an interruption
in the power supply. These functions protect
the vehicle. After the building fuse is switched
on again, the charging process resumes auto- matically. Following an interruption in the
power supply or tripping of the building's fuse,
it may take up to 10 minutes for charging to
resume automatically.
Switch on the building protection system again
after it has been triggered. Otherwise, the
charging process cannot be continued.
General information about the charging
procedure
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Ypage 29).
The vehicle socket is located in the rear bumper on the right below the tail lamp.
The charge socket flap and the vehicle are cen-
trally locked or unlocked simultaneously.

Important safety notes
!Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charging
cable for other purposes. It may otherwise be damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a country-specific
charging cable for connection to a mains socket.
Only use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle or a charging cable approved for the
vehicle.
iIf you use the supplied 12 A charging cable
to charge a high-voltage battery:
Rthe charge time increases considerably
Relectrical consumption increases consider-
ably
Where possible, charge the high-voltage bat-
tery at a charging station (
Ypage 35). Only
then can certified electrical energy consump-
tion levels be reached.
iThe charging process can vary depending on
the power supply. Therefore, always observe
the local information.

Stowing the charging cable
The charging cable can be stowed and secured
in the bag provided in the cargo compartment of
the vehicle.

greenThe on-board voltage is con-
nected. The high-voltage bat-
tery can be charged.
Flashes redThe power supply from the
building is faulty.
Display;
Lights up
greenThere are no malfunctions.
The high-voltage battery can
be charged.
Flashes redThe protective and indicator
system has detected a mal-
function due to an internal
malfunction. The high-voltage
battery cannot be charged.
If the control detects residual current or a mal-
function, the charging process is halted. Once
the malfunction has been rectified the charging
process is resumed automatically.
For information on problems relating to the
charging process, see (
Ypage 35).
Setting the maximum charge current
GWARNING
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 cur-
rent. If necessary, lower the set charge cur-
rent or use another power socket.
Before starting the charging process at a power
socket, check the maximum permissible charge
current for the relevant power socket or the
building.
You can set the maximum permissible charge
current:
Ron the controls of the charging cable
Rin the Settingsmenu of the on-board com-
puter (Ypage 43)
The lower value of the two charge current set-
tings – on the charge cable controls and in the
on-board computer – determines the maximum
charge current. If you cannot set the precise
maximum permitted charge current, select the
next lowest available value.
Only set the maximum permitted charge current
in the on-board computer menu if:
Rit is not possible to set the charge current on
the charging cable
Rthe precise maximum permitted charge cur-
rent can only be set via the on-board com-
puter
How to set the maximum permissible charge
current on the charging cable, is described as
follows.
XTo adjust the setting: press button?
repeatedly until the desired setting is selec-
ted in display =.
