Automatic deactivation of the hybrid
system
The hybrid system is deactivated
automatically if:
R SRS (Supplemental Restrain tSystem)
activates the restraint system in an
accident
R a short circui tis detected in the hybrid
system.
R one of the hybrid system’s electrical
connections is disconnected.
This ensures that you do not come into
contact with high voltage. High-voltage battery
G
WARNING
The high-voltage battery in the hybrid system
is located on the front bulkhead in the engine
compartment on the right-hand side when
viewed in the direction of travel. If, e. g. in the
event of a vehicle fire, the internal pressure of
the high-voltage battery exceeds a certain
value, flammable gas escapes through a line
in the area of the right front wheel. This
prevents the high-voltage battery from
exploding.
Leave the danger area. If necessary, set up
the warning triangle at asuitable distance.
Observe legal requirements. Driving safety systems
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Braking If ABS intervenes when braking, the yellow
÷ ESP®
indicator lamp flashes in the
instrument cluster (Y page 35). You only
feel the brake pedal pulsating in certain
situations, e.g .onslippery roads.
i Further information about ABS; (see
vehicle Operator's Manual). RBS (Recuperative Brake System)
RBS supports you when braking with an
electronically-controlled brake boost mode
and enables the recovery of kinetic energy. G
WARNING
Always have work on the RBS system, e.g.
replacemen tofbrake pads, carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Certain points must be taken into account
when carrying out work on the RBS system,
e.g. for system restart.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If RBS malfunctions, braking resistance may
be reduced and brake pedal travel may be
longer than usual. The brake system is still
fully functional .Ifnecessary, depress the
brake pedal further. Adjust your driving style
and vehicle speed accordingly.
i The first time the brake pedal is
depressed after switching on the engine,
braking resistance may be reduced and
brake pedal travel may be greater than
usual. When you release the brake pedal,
pedal travel then returns to normal.
Remember the following points about RBS
(Y page 20).
The yellow éRBS warning lamp and/or
the red $brake warning lamp light up in
the instrument cluster if RBS is
malfunctioning. Follow the instructions in the
multifunction display (Y page 31).

system and about driving tips; (see vehicle

Useful information
i This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional
equipment of your vehicle available at the
time of publication of the Operator's
Manual. Country-specific differences are
possible. Please note that your vehicle may
not be equipped with all features
described. This also applies to safety-
related systems and functions.

specialist workshops: (Y page 7).Displays and operation
Coolant temperature display
The coolan ttemperature can only be called
up on the on-board computer.
X Press =or; on the steering wheel
to select the Serv. menu.
X Press 9or: to select Coolant .
Electric motor performance display
The electric moto
rpower display in the
instrument cluster shows:
R how much of the maximum available
electric motor output is currently being
used
R how much electrical energy is being
delivered through recuperation Upper area
:shows the output obtained
from the electric motor, e.g. when driving
using the electric motor or with the boost
function. During electric drive, the engine
starts up when the display reaches the "MAX"
mark at the top. This allows you to control
how much the electric drive is used at low
speeds.
Lower area ;shows the recuperated output
which is stored in the high-voltage battery as
electrical energy. When the indicator reaches
the mark at the bottom, this means that the
recuperative braking power has been fully
utilized. The service brake is activated. Operating the on-board computer
i For information about operating the on-
board computer and COMAND, see the
vehicle Operator's Manual.
You can display the current operating mode
of the hybrid system in the multifunction
display and the COMAND display.
In the COMAND display, you can also call up
a graphic display of the fuel consumption and
generated electricity (Y page 31). Menus and submenus
