Automatically releasing the AC charging cable: after the AC charging process has finished, the charging connector is automatically released and can be
unplugged immediately. The function depends on the country.
Reducing the AC charging current: a lower charging current of 6 A or 8 A is used for charging (depending on the country). This setting is recommended when
several large items of electrical equipment are being operated via the same circuit.
Plug & Charge function
The high-voltage battery is charged at a suitable wall box or public charging station as soon as the charging connector is plugged in. Manual activation for cost
accounting is not required.
The function depends on the vehicle equipment and the country.

Battery charge limits
The battery charge level, and
consequently the vehicle range, can be
adapted to everyday demands using
the battery charge limits in the
Infotainment system.
Upper battery charge limit
The maximum battery charge level limits the maximum charge level of the high-voltage battery to between 50 and 100%.
It is not necessary to fully charge the high-voltage battery for standard daily use.
1. Move touch controls in the Infotainment system's charging settings to the preferred value.
The maximum battery charge level can also be adjusted during charging.
Lower battery charge limit
A battery charge level for the high-voltage battery between 0 and 50% can be set.
