Charging status in the car's charging input socket
The LED lamp in the car's charging input socket shows the current status for charging in progress. The table below gives explanations for the different shades of the LED lamp.

| Yellow | Waiting mode1 - waiting for charging to start. |
| Flashing green | Charging in progress2. |
| Green | Charging complete3 |
| Red | A fault has arisen. Check the charging cable's connection to the car's charging input socket and power source. Then restart charging in the following steps:
|
| Flashing red | The car is locked and does not detect a key when unlocking the charging cable via the button next to the charging input socket. |
| Blue | Scheduled Charging activated. |
Note
The charging input socket's LED lamp indicates status for charging the high voltage battery and not whether the car is consuming power, such as when the climate control is in use. Even if the LED lamp indicates that charging has finished, or that scheduled charging is activated, the car may still draw current from the socket. To avoid affecting the car's range, current is firstly drawn from the socket and not the battery in order to supply any additional load from the car (such as preconditioning etc.).
