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 cables are orange-colored. G
WARNING
The drive system is subject to high vol-
tages.
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 a vehicle 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 sys-
tem is located under the vehicle’s under-
body. When the pressure inside the
high‑voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, for example in case of a vehicle 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 vehi-
cle 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 a dedicated
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 pro-
fessionally 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 a vehicle
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.

Use only charging cables which have been
approved and recommended for the vehicle.
Do not use:
R extension chords
R cable reels
R multiple sockets
R travel adapters
i When possible, only charge the high-
voltage battery when the charge level is
below 80 %.
It is recommended to charge the high-
voltage battery prior to reaching less
than 20% state of charge.
Discharged high-voltage battery When the high-voltage battery is com-
pletely discharged, the drive system is
switched off. This protects the battery
from exhaustive discharge.
i By switching the ignition off and on
again, the drive system can be briefly
reactivated once. This allows you to park
the vehicle safely.
Do not allow your vehicle to remain sta-
tionary for more than 14 days with a dis-
charged, or nearly discharged, high-volt-
age battery. You can check the charge level
with the charge level gauge (Y page 81).
High or low outside temperatures The efficiency of the high-voltage battery
is temperature-dependent and decreases
at high or low temperatures. Additionally,
the electrolytes used can gel at very low
temperatures.
You can check the maximum capacity avail-
able using the indicator in the multifunc-
tion display (Y page 87). Energy consumption and range The available energy of the high-voltage
battery is reduced by:
R
low outside temperatures
R switching on electrical consumers
At low temperatures and after being parked
for an extended period without charging,
the physical properties of the high-volt-
age battery:
R can cause a significant reduction in the
performance of the battery
R can lead to longer charging times
In extreme cases, you will not be able to
start the vehicle. For this reason, always
connect the charging cable or make sure the
battery is completely charged when park-
ing the vehicle in low outside tempera-
tures or for an extended period of time.
Due to its physical properties, the capa-
city of a high-voltage battery decreases
over its lifespan.
Thus, the following are reduced:
R the maximum attainable range of the
vehicle
R the maximum performance output (accel-
eration) of the vehicle
You can actively contribute to the reduc-
tion of the vehicle's energy consumption
by:
R driving conservatively
R maintaining the vehicle regularly
R decreasing the use of electrical consum-
ers
Notes on battery care Avoid storing and transporting the vehicle
at high temperatures for extended periods
of time (e. g. container transport).
When out of use for longer periods of time,
connect the vehicle to a voltage supply.
If the vehicle is not connected to a voltage
supply, it must remain within a tempera- High-voltage battery

ture range from
00F84‡(00F820 ¥) to 104 ‡
(40 ¥) .
When the vehicle is exposed to tempera-
tures below 00F813‡(00F825 ¥) for longer than
seven days, irreversible damage by frost
can occur.
Terms of use Observe the following notes:
R
exclusions of the high-voltage battery
terms of use in the battery rental con-
tract
R exclusions and limitations in the war-
ranty and guarantee documents, as well as
in the Service Booklet
R maintenance notes for the high-voltage
battery in the Service Booklet
Overvoltage protection !
Overvoltage in the on-board powersup-
ply system can damage the vehicle.
The vehicle is therefore equipped with a
protective device against overvoltage in
the power supply system. This protective
device can be activated in severe thun-
derstorms, for example, and lead to
security systems being triggered. This
function is used to protect the vehicle.
Once the security system has been reac-
tivated, the charging process continues
automatically.
Reactivate the security system after it has
been triggered. Otherwise the charging
process will not continue. The high-volt-
age battery is not being charged, which may
result in the vehicle not being ready to
start.
If you have secured other devices using the
same security system, they will also be
deactivated after this is triggered. Make
sure that these devices do function after
reactivating the security system. Charging cable and ‑connecter warming Observe the safety notes on (Y
page 112).
Charging cable and ‑connecter can become
warmed during charging process when con-
nected to a power source.
This warming is caused by
R high charge currents
R charging time
R transfer resistances at the plug contacts
R resistances of the charging cable
If the infrastructure of the power supply
system and charging cable are in good
order, the charging cable and ‑connecter
will only warm up within admissible
threshold.
Damaged charging cable plug or its con-
tacts may lead to warming above admissi-
ble threshold. In case of this, have the
cable, respectively power socket,
exchanged or disposed by a qualified elec-
trician. Charging at an AC power socket or a
private wallbox

The payment procedure and charging proc-
esses may differ between public charging
stations, depending on the provider.
Please make yourself familiar with the
proper procedures of the public charging
station at which you are intending to
charge your vehicle.
Charging station without charging com-
munication You must activate charging stations with-
out charging communication before the
charging process. This can be done with an
RFID card or a telephone call, for example. High-voltage battery
117>> Operation. Z
Page 120 of 222
Observe the provider's instructions at the
charging station.
Charging station with charging commu-
nication („Plug&Charge“) You do not have to activate charging sta-
tions with charging communication before
the charging process. This is done by the
vehicle. This function is called "Plug &
Charge". Information is exchanged
between the vehicle and the charging sta-
tion via the charging cable for activation.
This is for:
R mutual authorization of the vehicle and
the charging station
R verification of contract data
R automatic billing of the energy costs
Electronic certificates are used here for
secure exchange of data.
If the verification of contract data is suc-
cessful, the charging process is initiated.
i A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for com-
munication between the vehicle and the
charging station. If it is necessary to
update your vehicle, consult an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
In order to use "Plug & Charge", you have to
configure the functions of your vehicle on
the "Vehicle Homepage" (Y page 120). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge" certif-
icate which you receive from your power
company after concluding a suitable con-
tract. Consult an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have problems with the
configuration or have no access to the
Internet.
The charging station offers information on
the availability of electricity and costs.
This information is processed by the vehi-
cle and is used for an optimum charging of
the high‑voltage battery (Y page 123). The
energy costs are automatically calculated
after the charging process is complete. With your existing electricity contract,
you and others who have access to your vehi-
cle can charge the costs to your electricity
bill. For this reason, cancel your existing
electricity contract for this vehicle
before you sell it. Delete your "Plug &
Charge" certificate by all means.
i
You can delete the certificate from the
vehicle's data on the "Vehicle Home-
page". Please consult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not
have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the con-
nected vehicle access to the Internet, you
can call up and change information per-
taining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle
Homepage" (Y page 120).
