THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE VEHICLE SOCKET AT MERCEDES-BENZ
Aside from the conventional tank opening, EQ Power vehicles - like the fully electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz - also have a vehicle socket. We have put together the instructions for the indicator lights - and how to
cancel the
charging process and unlock the
charging cable.
Charge status at a glance
The
indicator lights directly on the vehicle socket indicate both the locking status and the charging status as well as the charging process.
The “Locking lock” indicator light flashes white as soon as there is a locking fault. As soon as the light glows continuously white, the socket is also unlocked.
The “Charging (battery)” indicator light shows information on the charging process. This flashes orange while the connection is being established and flashes green as soon as there is an active flow of energy. During a charging
pause, the lamp gives an orange light, as soon as the charging process is finished, a continuous green lamp is displayed. As soon as the light flashes red, there is a charging fault.
The
charging process itself can be canceled using the charging cancel button next to the vehicle socket. However, disconnecting the charging cable from the AC charging station after KEYLESS-GO has recognized the vehicle key, or the
unlock button on the vehicle key or the
charge cancel button has been pressed,
cancels the process. The charging cable at DC quick charging stations, on the other hand, can only be broken off and removed by pressing the charge cancel button.
Status of the indicator light
| Indicator light | status | importance |
| Lock | Flashes white | Malfunction when unlocking |
| Lights up white | Socket unlocked |
| Charging process (battery) | Flashes orange | Connection establishment |
| Flashes green | Active energy flow |
| Lights up orange | Loading pause |
| Lights up green | Charging finished |
| Flashes red | Charging failure |
For EQ Power vehicles, a small note on
tank ventilation: if the driver presses the unlocking button for the tank cap, the petrol / diesel tank may first have to bleed. Here it can take up to 60 seconds before the
tank lid can be opened.
