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.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current on site before you begin the charg-
ing process. Contact an authorized electric drive smart center should you require
assistance. If necessary, adjust the set-
tings 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,12 A,Max. The last value set
remains stored until a change is made.
X Press and hold the control switch on the

! An excessive charge current can blow a
fuse or lead to overheating of the exter-
nal power supply. Check whether the
external power supply is compatible
with the set charge current. If necessary, lower the set charge current or use
another power socket. :
