Important
The charging cable's charging handle is fastened/locked in, and charging starts within 5 seconds. The driver display shows the remaining estimated charging time or whether charging is not working as intended. Read more in the section "Charge status".
Battery charging can be interrupted for a while if the car is unlocked:
- and the door is opened - charging restarts within 2 minutes.
- without the door being opened - the car is relocked automatically. Charging restarts after 1 minute.
Note
- depress the brake pedal
- open one of the doors
- turn the ignition dial to position I.
Important
Never unplug the charging cable from the 230 VAC socket while charging is in progress - there is then a risk of damaging the 230 VAC socket.
Always stop charging first before unplugging the charging cable from the car's charging socket and then from the 230 VAC-socket.
Condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car during charging. This is normal and takes place due to cooling of the hybrid battery.
