BlueScheduled 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.).
  1. 1 For example, if the charging cable handle is not locked in place.
  2. 2 The more slowly the light flashes, the closer the battery is to being fully charged.
  3. 3 The light will go out after a short time.
