  2. Wait for a short time.
  3. Plug the charging cable into the charging input socket again.

 Note

The charging input socket's LED lamp indicates status for charging the high voltage battery and not whether the car is consuming power, such as when the climate control is in use. Even if the LED lamp indicates that charging has finished, or that scheduled charging is activated, the car may still draw current from the socket. To avoid affecting the car's range, current is firstly drawn from the socket and not the battery in order to supply any additional load from the car (such as parking heater, etc.).
  1. 1 For example, after a door has been opened or if the charging cable's handle is not locked in.
  2. 2 The slower the flashing, the closer to fully charged.
  3. 3 Extinguishes after a while.
