Charging status in the vehicle's charging socket
The LED light in the vehicle's charging socket shows the actual status of ongoing charging. The table below explains the LED light's different glows.
| LED indicator light's color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| White | Welcome lighting |
| Flashing yellow | The charging process is being stopped. |
| Yellow | Wait mode1 – waiting for charging to start. |
| Flashing green | Charging is in progress2. |
| Green | Charging completed3 |
| Red | Malfunction. Check the charging cable's connection to the vehicle's charging socket and power source. Then restart charging using the following steps:
|
| Flashing red | The vehicle is locked and does not detect a key when the charging cable is unlocked via the button next to the charging socket. |
| Blue | Scheduled charging activated. |
Note
The charging socket's LED light indicates the status for charging of the high-voltage battery and not whether the vehicle is drawing power, for example when the climate system is being used. Even if the LED indicates that charging is complete, or that scheduled charging is activated, the vehicle can still draw current from the outlet. To avoid affecting the vehicle's range, current is first drawn from the outlet and not from the battery to supply any extra vehicle loads (preconditioning, etc.).
