General information  
Warning  
Damaged or worn charging equipment, e.g.,  
worn contacts, can become hot. There is a  
risk of fire. Only use chargers that are in good  
condition.  
The vehicle can be charged using various  
charging cables at charging stations, domestic  
socket outlets or industrial sockets.  
Control and monitoring of the charging process  
are handled fully automatically. When charging  
with AC, the charge current level can be ad-  
justed via iDrive.  
Warning  
Even when it is indicated that the high-volt-  
age battery is discharged, the high-voltage  
system is always still under high voltage.  
There is a risk of fire or a risk of injury. Do  
not touch or change live parts, e.g., orange  
high-voltage cables, even when the batteries  
are discharged.  
Safety information  
Warning  
Working with electrical current improperly can  
lead to electric shock due to high voltages or  
high currents. There is a risk of fire or danger  
to life. Observe the general safety regulations  
when working with electrical current.  
Warning  
Contact with live components can lead to an  
electric shock. High voltage is present at the  
charging connection. There is a risk of injury  
or danger to life.  
Warning  
It is recommended that work on the charg-  
ing connection, for example cleaning, is per-  
formed by an authorized service center or an-  
other qualified service center or repair shop.  
A faulty or incorrectly designed charging de-  
vice at the charging location can cause dam-  
age to the vehicle and overload the power  
supply at the charging location. There is a  
risk of fire and an injury hazard.
