Battery charging can be interrupted for a while if the car is unlocked:

Important
The LED lamps show the current status while charging is in progress. The white, blue, red and yellow lamps are activated when the passenger compartment lighting is switched on - they remain switched on for a while after the passenger compartment lighting has been switched off.
Condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car during charging. This is normal and takes place due to cooling of the hybrid battery.
