WARNING Risk of f
atal injury due to expo-
sure to extreme heat or cold in the vehicle
If persons, particularly children, are subjected
t
o prolonged exposure to intense heat or cold,
there is a risk of severe injury or even death. 
Never leave persons, particularly chil-
dr
en, unattended in the vehicle. &
WARNING Risk of bur
ns due to repeatedly
switching on the seat heating
Repeatedly switching on the seat heating can
cause t
he seat cushion and seat backrest pad-
ding to become very hot.
In particular, the health of persons with limited
temperature sensitivity or a limited ability to
react to high temperatures may be aMected or
they may even suMer burn-like injuries. 
Do not repeatedly switch on the seat
heating. 170

WARNING Risk of c
hemical burns and poi-
soning from damaged high-voltage battery
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damag
ed, electrolyte and gases may
leak out. 
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or
clo

thing. 
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes
oM wit

h water and seek medical atten-
tion straight away. &
DANGER Risk of Nr
e and explosion from
excessive internal pressure of the high-
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle Nr
e, Oammable gas
can escape and ignite. 
Stop the charging process immediately
in case of unusual odour

s, smoke or
burn marks. 
Leave the danger zone immediately.
Secur

e the danger zone at a suPcient
distance. 
Call the Nr
e service. The hybrid system combines a combustion engine
wit
h an electric motor. Characteristics when the vehicle is at a standstill:
= The combus

tion engine is generally switched
oM.
= Idle speed occurs only in certain instances.
Characteristics when the vehicle is started: = If the high-voltage battery is suPciently
charged, the vehicle can be started with the
electric drive system without the combustion
engine (noiseless start).
= If the high-voltage battery for the electric drive
system is not suPciently charged or the vehi-
cle conditions for a silent start are not met,
the vehicle will start with the combustion
engine.
% Depending on the system, it may be that even
t
hough the high-voltage battery is charged,
electric mode has restricted or no availability.
Once the combustion engine has been oper-
ated for long enough, electric mode will be
again available without restriction. 176
Driving and parking

Characteristics with moderate power output
r
equests:
= The combustion engine is switched oM as
osen as possible during the journey.
= The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gram selected and the state of charge of the
high-voltage battery, be accelerated electri-
cally up to speeds of approximately
140 km/h.
Characteristics with high power output requests:
= The electric motor supports the combustion
engine (boost eMect), e.g. when you pull away
or accelerate.
= The high-voltage battery is discharging.
Characteristics when the accelerator pedal is
released during the journey:
= The electric motor will be operated as an alter-
nator when in overrun mode and during brak-
ing.
= The high-voltage battery is charging. Notes on electric mode:
= V
ehicles with hybrid systems generate signiN-
cantly less noise when stationary and when
being driven than vehicles with combustion
engines.
= When you are driving in electric mode, the
vehicle may not be heard by other road users
due to the signiNcantly reduced noise gener-
ated.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which serves as
an acoustic vehicle alert system (AVAS).
= If not all the vehicle conditions for electric
mode are met, the combustion engine will be
switched on.
% Vehicles with diesel particulate Nlt
ers: during
the regeneration of the diesel particulate Nl-
ter, the drive programmes are not available or
are restricted and the charge level of the high-
voltage battery may change.
Notes on the acoustic vehicle alert system:
= The sound g

enerator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when the vehicle is driving forwards or reversing at a speed of
up t

o around 30 km/h.
= This helps other road users, particularly
pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle
better.
= When you drive at speeds above 20 km/h the
acoustic vehicle alert system will gradually
switch oM.
= The sound generator will be oM when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Manual disconnection of the high-voltage on-
board electrical system &
DANGER Risk of deat
h and Nre due to
modiNed and/or damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
sy
stem is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage
on-board electrical system or touch damaged
component parts, you may be electrocuted. In
addition, modiNed and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a Nre. Driving and parking
