Charging the vehicle
MOBILITY
The range will be reduced if pre-condition-
ing is activated without a charging cable
connected.

Additional information:
Stationary climate control, refer to page 286.
If the function is deactivated, no location-

are not enabled.
Location-based charging
settings
Display on the control display
If the function is enabled, the icon
indicates the location-based settings,
which are automatically saved and en-
abled.
Principle
Various settings can be selected for charging
at charging stations.
To simplify recharging at known charging loca-
tions, some changed settings such as charging
mode can be saved based on location.
Deleting location-based charging
settings
General information
1.
Apps menu
When the function is activated, some settings
are automatically saved as soon as the charg-
ing process is finished and the charging cable
is disconnected.

3. "Charging"
4. "Location-based charging settings"
5. "Delete all location-based charging
settings"
The settings are saved based on the GPS co-
ordinates of the charging location.
Saved settings are enabled as soon as the
vehicle approaches a known charging location
again.
Discharged high-voltage
battery and vehicle battery
Before charging, ensure that the settings en-
abled match the desired charging station,
e.g., charging mode.
General information
When the vehicle leaves a known charging lo-
cation, the settings are automatically set to
factory settings.
In addition to the high-voltage battery, the ve-
hicle has a 12 volt vehicle battery, which is re-
quired for operation of the onboard electronics.
With a discharged vehicle battery, no operation
of the vehicle is possible.
Functional requirement
To use the function, a GPS signal must be re-
ceived.

Charging the vehicle
MOBILITY
▷
Recharge the high-voltage battery as close
to a planned departure as possible. A time
frame can be set for charging.
Service life of high-voltage
battery
Charging in the time frame, refer to
page 325.
General information
▷
▷
Reduce the load on the high-voltage bat-
tery by using an efficient, anticipatory driv-
ing style.
The performance of the high-voltage battery,
and thus the vehicle's range, decreases over
its service life. The service life of the high-volt-
age battery can be optimized by how it is used.
Increasing the range, refer to page 311.
Avoid direct sunlight at high outside tem-
peratures.
Charging instructions
Charging habits have a significant effect on the
high-voltage battery's service life:
Long stationary periods, vehicle
shutdown
If planning to leave the vehicle stationary for
long periods of time, note the following:
▷
If the vehicle is stationary for long periods
of time with a battery charge of over 80 %,
this may negatively affect the battery's usa-
ble energy, charging time, and charging
power during quick charging.
▷
If the vehicle is to be stationary for more
than 6 months, park the vehicle with a
battery charge between 50 % and 80 %.
Check the battery charge every 6 months.
▷
▷
Quick charging often with a charging power
greater than 100 kW may negatively affect
the battery's usable energy, charging time,
and charging power during quick charging.
▷
If the vehicle is stationary for less than 6
months, park the vehicle with a charge level
between 30% and 50%.
If the vehicle has been charged several
times in a row with DC, this system may
temporarily reduce the charging power to
protect the high-voltage battery. If reduced,
the charging capacity is reset after a few
hours. Quick charging again can extend this
time.
▷
▷
Do not park the vehicle for longer than
14 days if the electric range is depleted.
Do not leave the charging cable connected.
Maintenance
The high-voltage battery is maintenance-free.
Optimizing the high-voltage
battery's service life
Proper use can optimize the high-voltage bat-
tery's service life:
End of high-voltage battery service
life
If unrestricted driving can no longer be ensured
because the high-voltage battery is exhibiting
very advanced aging, Check Control messages
appear to indicate power and range restric-
tions.
▷
Charge high-voltage batteries with a low
charging capacity at an AC charging station
or Wallbox.
▷
For daily use, operate the vehicle with a
charge level between 10% and 80%. A
charging target of 80% can be set for this.
The vehicle must be inspected by an author-
ized service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
Charge target, refer to page 325.
