Step by step.
- 01
Shift to Park, switch the vehicle off, unlock it and inspect the cable, plugs and vehicle inlet for damage or contamination.
- 02
Open the charge-port flap and, for a portable charger, connect the charger to the approved AC outlet before connecting it to the vehicle.
- 03
Open the AC inlet cover and push the charging connector fully into the upper vehicle socket without twisting it or leaving the cable under tension.
- 04
Activate the wallbox or public station if required and watch the port indicator move through connection status to active charging.
- 05
Confirm the driver display shows battery state of charge and a charging prediction before leaving the vehicle.
Important limits
- Never charge with a damaged cable, outlet or vehicle inlet.
- Do not use extension cords, cable reels or multi-outlet adapters unless specifically approved for EV charging.
- The vehicle cannot be started or moved while the charging connector is latched.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the indicator flashes red, stop charging and inspect the supply equipment and connector before retrying.
- ✓If charging does not start, verify the station has been authorized and the plug is fully seated without cable tension.
- ✓Fan or battery-cooling noise during charging can be normal; persistent fault indications require a qualified Mercedes-Benz service center.
