Residual-current device
Mode 2 charging cables have a built-in residual current device that protects the vehicle and the user from electric shocks caused by system faults.
Warning
The residual-current device helps to protect the vehicle's charging system, but there is no guarantee that an overload will never occur.
Important
The residual-current device does not protect the household outlet.
Temperature monitoring
The mode 2 cable is also equipped with a control unit, which has a built-in overtemperature monitoring function. This monitors the temperature of both the cable and the household outlet.
Important
Avoid exposing the control unit and its plug connector to direct sunlight. The overheating protection in the plug connector may otherwise reduce or stop your vehicle's charging.
