Manually Releasing the Charging Connector

When can I unlock the charging plug?

The charging plug is correctly inserted and not tilted. The vehicle is unlocked. Charging has been completed or interrupted. An automatic unlocking of the AC charging cable has been selected for charging with AC (alternating current).

If the prerequisites are met but the charging plug cannot be removed, the charging plug can be unlocked in an emergency.

DANGER

If the charging plug remains locked unexpectedly, the cause may be a fault in the vehicle or charging station. By manually unlocking it in an emergency, electrically charged contacts may be touched. Touching the contacts in the charging socket in this case can result in burns, other injuries or fatal electric shocks.

Do not touch the contacts in the charging socket or charging plug.

Emergency unlocking of the charging plug only in the event of a malfunction.
