Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Mercedes Electric Cars.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Mercedes-EQ model fails to charge, check the charging cable connections at both the vehicle port and the power source; ensure the connector is fully inserted and the charging station is powered on.
For reduced range in cold weather, pre-condition the battery using the Mercedes me app while connected to a charger to optimize battery temperature and maximize driving range.
If the infotainment system freezes or shows error messages, perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds until the system restarts.
When the vehicle does not start, ensure the key fob is inside the cabin and the brake pedal is firmly pressed; if the issue persists, try using the emergency key start slot (consult owner's manual for location).
If you encounter a 'High-Voltage Battery' warning, safely pull over and contact Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance immediately at 000 800 050 1888; do not attempt to drive further.
