Charging cable
Introduction
Instructions for the charging cable
The charging cable delivered with the vehicle depends on the scope of supply and the country-specific technical specifications, for example charging plug
connectors for mains sockets.
Volkswagen recommends only using the charging cable supplied and observing the following information ⇒
Handle with care.
, ⇒
.
Roll out or roll in completely.
Do not fold or bend over sharp edges.
Do not allow to become trapped or run over.
Only pull on the charging connectors.
Children must not use the charging cable.
Keep animals away.
Stow away safely and without kinks after use.
DANGER

WARNING
Charging a high-voltage battery with an unsuitable charging cable can cause short circuits and electric shocks. This could result in damage to the charging
cable and serious or fatal injuries.
Always take note of the information on the charging cable.
Before traveling abroad, find out about the electrical installations available locally.
Before traveling abroad, make sure you know which is the correct, country-specific charging cable and what the maximum permitted charging current is.
Stowing the charging cable away
Fig. 137 Under the luggage compartment floor: Storage compartment for the charging cable (general example).
WARNING
An unsecured or incorrectly secured charging cable can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during sudden driving and braking maneuvers. This can
cause accidents and serious injuries.
Stow the charging cable in the storage compartment under the luggage compartment floor fig. 137.
Or: Stow the charging cable in the charging cable bag provided and hook the charging cable bag to a front tie-down in the luggage compartment.
If the rear seat backrest has been folded over, stow the charging cable bag in the footwell in front of it.
Instructions for the charging connectors and the protective device of the charging cable
Do not reach into the contacts of the charging connector.
Keep away from intense sunlight. The outside temperature must be no higher than 50 °C (122 °F).
Do not drop.
Protect against immersion in liquids, e.g. rainwater.
Replace the protective cap after use.
WARNING
Incorrectly using or connecting the charging cable for mains sockets can cause a severe malfunction. This could result in damage to the electrical system and
the charging cable, as well as fire and serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to an extension cable, a cable reel, a socket strip or an adapter, such as a travel adapter or timer.
As a portable piece of operating equipment, the charging cable may be subject to regular testing obligations. A test adapter is required for this.
Note the maximum load for the fuse circuit in use. If the charging cable is connected to a mains socket on the same electrical circuit as other consumers, the
circuit fuse may be tripped.
Charging cables must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and may not be included with household waste.
