Charge limit selection
The charge limit setting allows the
vehicle’s charge limit to be selected
so it matches the capability of the
charging location. If the vehicle
consistently stops charging after
plugging in, or if a circuit breaker
continues to trip, reducing to a lower
charge limit setting may resolve the
issue.
The charge limit setting should be
configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected to.
On the Charge mode screen, toggle
the Charge limit selection between:
● 10 A
● 6 A
The charge limit setting must be
updated prior to the vehicle being
charged and the charge limit setting
will reset to a default value when the
vehicle is shifted from P.9 Warning
If the capacity of the electrical
circuit or AC socket is not known,
only use the lowest charge level
until the circuit capacity has been
inspected by a qualified
electrician. Using a charge level
that exceeds either the electrical
circuit or the AC outlet capacity
may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit.

Electric rate preference
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate schedule, utility rate preference, and
the programmed departure time for
the current day of the week. The
vehicle will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full high voltage battery charge by the departure time. Electrical rate
information from the utility company
for the charging location is required
for this mode.
From the Charge mode screen with
Departure charge mode selected,
touch More to select the Electric rate
preference .

Grounding instructions This product must be grounded. If this
product should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that
has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.9 Warning
Improper connection of the charge
cord ground may cause electrical
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if there is doubt as to
whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product.
If it will not fit the electrical outlet,
have a proper electrical outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Charge cord mounting
instructions
Choose an appropriate, solid location for mounting the charge cord. The
appropriate height for mounting the
charge cord is 91 cm from the floor.
Space the holes 18.7 cm apart.
Install the mounting screws leaving
the head of the screws 5 mm from the
surface.
Securely mount the charge cord on to
the screws.
Connect the wall plug to the electrical
outlet.
Connect the vehicle plug to the

To access the tyre pressure page,
choose vehicle info menu via right
steering wheel buttons and press
{ or } to select tyre pressure.
To reset the system: ● Press and hold 9 until the tyre
pressure monitoring system asks
for a check.
● Press 9 again to confirm. The
vehicle honks twice.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message
indicating the corresponding tyre in
the Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.
Temperature dependency 3 232.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 80.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 254.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after driving, this
could be an indicator for approaching a low tyre pressure condition. Check
tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 89.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased, switch off vehicle.
Winter tyres or additional wheel sets
must be fitted with sensors, otherwise the system will not work and control
indicator w illuminates continuously.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tyre pressure control
indicator. If the system detects a
malfunction, w will flash for approx.
1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists.
If the malfunction indicator w is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre
pressure as intended. Tyre pressure
monitoring system malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
tyre pressure monitoring system from functioning properly. Always check
the tyre pressure monitoring system
malfunction control indicator w after
replacing one or more tyres or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the

260Customer informationThis data includes, for example:● Vehicle status information (e.g. wheel rotation rate, speed,
movement delay, lateral
acceleration, "seatbelts
fastened" display),
● Ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor).
Most of this data is volatile and is
processed only in the vehicle itself, and not beyond the operating time.
Moreover, many control units include
data storage device (amongst others the vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.
The following information, for
example, is stored:
● System component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status),
● State of charge of the high voltage battery, estimated range
(in the case of electric vehicles),● Faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes),
● System reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggeringof an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems),
● Information on events damaging the vehicle.
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services, the operating
data saved can be read together with the vehicle identification number andused if necessary. Staff working for
the service net-work (e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. Services
include repair services, maintenance
processes, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which has been read
out documents the technical conditionof the vehicle or individual
components and assists with fault
diagnosis, compliance with warranty
obligations and quality improvement.
This data, in particular information on component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also needs operating data
from vehicles for product recalls.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs.
