Safety instructions
To guarantee uninterrupted charging operation
with the charging cable with display unit, follow
the following instructions and recommendations:
- Before installation, check whether with the
present house installation the additional power
required for charging a vehicle can be made
available permanently. If necessary, secure the
house installation with an energy management
system.
- Only use the charging cable with display unit
on grounded power networks. The grounding
conductor must be installed properly.
- For new installation of the outlet, select an
industrial outlet with the largest possible power
(adapted to the electrical house installation)
and have it installed and put into service by a
qualified electrician.
- Dimension the electrical installation, insofar
as technically possible and legally permitted,
so that the maximum rated power of the outlet
used is permanently available for charging the
vehicle.
- To use the capacity of the charging cable with
display unit optimally and guarantee quick
charging, use NEMA outlets with the highest
possible current rating corresponding to the
power plug or industrial outlets according to
IEC 60320.
- When charging the high-voltage battery via the
household outlet, the electrical installation can
be loaded up to its maximum capacity. Volkswa-
gen Group of America recommends having the
electrical installation used for charging checked
regularly by an electrician. Ask an electrician
what inspection intervals make sense for your
installation.
WARNING
The use of a damaged or defective charging
cable or of a damaged or defective outlet,
improper use of the display unit or a failure to
heed the safety instructions can cause short-
circuits, electric shocks, explosions, fires or
burns.
• Do not use damaged and/or dirty charging
cables with display unit. Check the cable
and plug connector for damage and dirt
before use.
• Only connect the charging cable with
display unit to properly installed and unda-
maged outlets and electrical installations
that have no defects.
• Do not use an extension cable, cable
drums, multiple outlets or (travel) adap-
ters.
• Disconnect the charging cable with dis-
play unit from the power network during a
thunderstorm.
• Do not make changes or repairs to electri-
cal components.
• Never immerse the display unit and the
plugs in water or subject them to a direct
steam of water (e.g. pressure washers or
garden hoses).
• Only clean the charging cable if the dis-
play unit is completely disconnected from
the power network and the vehicle.
• Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
WARNING
Improperly installed outlets can cause electric
shock or fire when charging the high-voltage
battery via the vehicle charging connection.
• Installation and start-up of the outlet for
the charging cable with display unit may
only be performed by a qualified electri-
cian. The electrician is responsible here
for complete compliance with the existing
standards and regulations.
