Control system>> Controls.

This is useful:
R
if you wish to cool the interior of the
vehicle before driving
R if you wish to charge the vehicle at a
charging station/wallbox at the most
inexpensive electricity rate
With the "Air conditioning before start"
function, the vehicle interior is cooled
prior to a desired departure time.
Prerequisites:
R The doors and tailgate are closed.
R The charging cable for the high‑voltage
battery is connected to a power source
and inserted into the vehicle's power
socket.
R The high‑voltage battery has a
sufficient charge.
The maximum duration of "Air
conditioning before start" is 30 minutes.
Set the air distribution of your vehicle as
follows so that the "Air conditioning
before start" function has the greatest
effect:
R in summer, to the center and side vents
R in winter, onto the windshield and side
windows
Information on air distribution can be
found on (Y page 98).
The setting of the airflow regulator has no
influence on the "Air conditioning before
start" function.
i If the programmed time is too short, the
high‑voltage battery cannot be
completely charged. After setting the
departure time, the maximum charge
level which can be reached is then shown.
i If the high‑voltage battery is not
sufficiently charged and the "Air
conditioning before start" function is
activated, the high‑voltage battery is
charged first. When acharge level of at
least 20 % has been reached, the "Air
conditioning before start" function is
activated. This function then has priority over the charging of the
high‑voltage battery.

start" function is not available. Setting the maximum charge current G
WARNING
When connected to a power supply socket, a
high electrical load during the charging
process can lead to overheating of the
external power supply. There is a risk of
fire.
Find out about the maximum permissible
current load of the external power supply
socket for the respective country at an
authorized electric drive smart center.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current on site before you begin the
charging process. Contact an authorized
electric drive smart center should you
require assistance. If necessary, adjust
the settings of your vehicle.
You can limit the charge current of the
high‑voltage battery. This can protect the
power supply from overloading. You can set
the limit either on the control unit of the
charging cable or via the control system.
The preset standard value is "Max". This
corresponds to the maximum available
charge current of the power supply.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current for the respective power supply
socket before charging the high‑voltage
battery.
The following values are available for
selection: 8 A, 10 A, 12 A, Max. The last value
set remains stored until a chang eis made.
X Press and hold the control switch on the
control lever up or down until the
Charge Current menu appears in the
multifunction display.
X Briefly press the OK button on the control

You can also set the maximum charge
current via the control element on the
charging cable (Y page 113).
If differing values are set on the
charging cable and the control system,
the high‑voltage battery is charged
using the lowest value.
i If the vehicle needs more time to charge
the high‑voltage battery than usual,
check the settings of the maximum
permissible charge current. Messages menu

WARNING
Follow the recommended settings for
heating and cooling given on the following
pages .Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
The air conditionin gimproves the leve lof
comfort when driving at high outside
temperatures by cooling and
dehumidifying the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle
filter before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system .It also operates when
the air conditioning is switched off and
you have switched on the blower.
The dehumidification of the air by the air
conditioner prevents the windows from
misting up when the outside air humidity
is high.
This effect can also be used to defrost the
windows. For this, make sure, in addition
to the air conditioner, that the heater is
on the maximum setting.
The air conditioner only works when:
R the ignition is switched on
R the blower is switched on
R the driver's door is closed
Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you
drive with the windows closed.
If the operating temperature of the
high‑voltage battery is too high, the
high‑voltage battery is cooled by the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner
switches on, the cooling output in the
vehicle's interior is reduced as a result.
The temperature in the vehicle's interior
may rise briefly.
If the air conditioner is not switched on,

automatically. This cools the high‑voltage
battery but not the vehicle's interior .When
the high‑voltage battery reaches the
nominal temperature again, the air
conditioner switches off automatically.
i The range of the vehicle is decreased
when the air conditioner is switched on.
i In warmer weather, ventilate the
passenger compartment for a short
period of time before utilizing the air
conditioning.

endanger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.

if the ice is completely removed from the
windows manually with an ice scraper
before driving off.

R other consumers which operate up to a
maximum of 60 W
! The auxiliary power outlet can
accommodate 12V DC electrical
accessories designed for use with the
standard “cigarette lighter” plug type.
Keep in mind, however, that connecting
accessories to the auxiliary power outlet
(for example extensive connecting and
disconnecting, or using plugs that do not
fit properly) can damage the auxiliary

High-voltage battery
Introduction
The components of the drive system are
indicated by yellow warning labels to make
you aware of high voltage.
High‑voltage cablesa
re orange‑colored.G
WARNING
The drive system is subject to high
voltages.
You may be seriously or even fatally injured
if you:
R tamper with components or high-voltage
cables in the drive system
R touch components or high-voltage cables
in the drive system on avehicle which has
been involved in an accident
R touch damaged drive system components
Do not remove any drive system component
covers which are marked with a warning
sticker. Do not tamper with components or
orange high-voltage drive system cables. G
WARNING
The high‑voltage battery of the drive
system is located under the vehicle’s
underbody. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of avehicle fire,
inflammable gas will escape via a duct. The
inflammable gas escapes to an area under
the vehicle. This prevents the high‑voltage
battery from exploding.
Stay away from this area of the vehicle. The drive system is powered by a
high‑voltage battery. The high‑voltage
battery stores and releases the energy
required for operation of the electric
motor.
The electric motor uses the energy that is
stored in the high‑voltage battery when
driving off and when accelerating.
When rolling, kinetic energy is converted
into electrical energy by energy recovery
and stored in the high‑voltage battery.
The range of the vehicle is reduced when
consumers are switched on, e.g. climate
control.
The high‑voltage battery can be charged in
a voltage range from 100 V to 240 V.
The high‑voltage battery can be charged
R through energy recovery while the
vehicle is rolling or when braking
R Level 1 charging - 110 V / 120 V -
A travel cord will be supplied with the
vehicle. This charging cable can be
plugged into commonly available
110 V / 120 V, 15 A power sources. This
charging method will take longer to
charge your vehicle than adedicated
level 2 charging source. Therefore it is
not recommended as the primary method
of charging.
R Level 2 charging - 220 V / 240 V -
For the fastest possible charging time, a
dedicated 220 V /240 V, 20 A circuit is
required. Local electrical code can vary
from town to town. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that this service is
professionally installed. This service
should be installed in a dry area with
easy access to the passenger side of the
vehicle. You will need to obtain avehicle
charge connector that can be wired
directly to or plugged into the dedicated
220 V / 240 V service. Charge connectors
will be available for purchase through
your authorized electric drive smart
center.
