vehicle.
Operate your vehicle in an environmentally
responsible manner to help protect the envi-
ronment. Please observe the following recom-
mendations on operating conditions and per-
sonal driving style.

Do not carry any unnecessary weight
(e.g. r

oof luggage racks once you no lon-
ger need them). 
Adhere to the service intervals.
A r
egularly serviced vehicle will contrib-

WARNING Risk of accident due t
o mal-
functions or system failures
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maint
enance work or any required repairs car-
ried out, this could result in malfunctions or
system failures. 
Always have the prescribed service and
maint
enance work as well any required
repairs carried out at a qualiNed special-
ist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of accident or injur
y due
to improper modiNcations to electronic
components
ModiNcations t
o electronic components, their
sosware or wiring can impair their functional-
ity and/or the functionality of other networked
components or safety-relevant systems.
This can endanger the vehicle's operating
safety. 22
General notes


You must not tamper with wiring, elec-
tr onic components, or their sosware.
Always have work on electrical and elec-
tr

onic devices carried out at a qualiNed
specialist workshop. If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen-
er
al operating permit is rendered invalid.
Observe the "On-board electronics" section in
"Technical data". &
WARNING Risk of Nr
e due to Oammable
material coming into contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system
If combustible materials, e.g. leaves, grass or
twigs, come int
o contact with hot parts of the
exhaust system, they may ignite. 
When driving oM-r
oad or on unpaved sur-
faces, check the underside of the vehicle
at regular intervals. 
In particular, remove any trapped parts
of plants or o
ther Oammable material. 
If damage should occur, immediately
inf
orm a qualiNed specialist workshop. *
NOTE Damag
e to the vehicle due to driv-
ing too fast and due to impacts to the
vehicle underbody or suspension compo-
nents In the following situations, in particular, there
is a r
isk of damage to the vehicle:
= the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high kerb or an unpaved road
= the vehicle is driven too fast over an obsta-
cle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pothole
= a heavy object strikes the underbody or
suspension components
In situations such as these, damage to the
body, underbody, suspension components,
wheels or tyres may not be visible. Compo-
nents damaged in this way can unexpectedly
fail or, in the case of an accident, may no lon-
ger absorb the resulting force as intended. If the underbody panelling is damaged,
Oam-
mable mat

erials such as leaves, grass or twigs
can collect between the underbody and the
underbody panelling. These materials may
ignite if they come into contact with hot parts
of the exhaust system. 
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
immediat

ely at a qualiNed specialist
workshop.
or 
If driving safety is impaired while con-
tinuing y

our journey, pull over and stop
the vehicle immediately, while paying
attention to road and traPc conditions,
and contact a qualiNed specialist work-
shop. Plug-in hybrid
Hybr

id vehicles have a combustion engine and at
least one electric motor. The energy supply for
operating the vehicle electrically is provided by
the high-voltage on-board electrical system. General notes

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.
In the event of an accident or impact to the
vehicle underbody, components of the high-
voltage electrical system may be damaged
although the damage is not visible. 
Never make any modiNcations t
o the
high-voltage on-board electrical system. 
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its
high-v
oltage on-board electrical system
components have been modiNed or dam-
aged. 
Never touch damaged components of
t

he high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem. 
Aser an accident, do no
t touch any com-
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system. 
Aser an accident, ha
ve the vehicle trans-
ported away. 
Have the components of the high-voltage
on-boar
d electrical system checked at a
qualiNed specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary. The components of the vehicle's high-voltage on-
boar
d electrical system are marked with yellow
warning stickers. The cables of the high-voltage
on-board electrical system are orange. High-voltage components that can become very
ho
t are marked with an additional warning sticker: 24
General notes

Vehicles with hybrid systems generate
signiN-
cantl y less noise when stationary and when being
driven than vehicles with combustion engines.
When driving in electric mode, the vehicle may
not be heard by other road users due to the signif-
icantly reduced noise generated.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped
with a sound generator, which serves as an acous-
tic vehicle alerting system (AVAS).
Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system &
DANGER Risk of f
atal injury by touching
damaged high-voltage components
Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical sys-
t
em contain individual high-voltage compo-
nents. These high-voltage components are
under high voltage.
If you modify component parts of these high-
voltage components or touch damaged com-
ponent parts, you may be electrocuted.
High voltage components may be damaged in
an accident, although the damage may not be
visible. 
Never perform modiNcations t
o compo-
nent parts of high-voltage components. 
Never touch damaged component parts
of high-v
oltage components. 
Never touch component parts of high-
v

oltage components aser an accident. Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system
cont
ain high voltage components. These compo-
nents are marked with a high voltage label: All work on high voltage components must be car-
r

ied out at a qualiNed specialist workshop. Notes on assembling the number plate on the
fr
ont licence plate holder
* NOTE Malfunctions and sy
stem failures
due to incorrect assembly of the licence
plate on the front licence plate holder If the licence plate is incorrectly assembled on
t

he front licence plate holder, sensors, cam-
eras or driving and safety systems may mal-
function or fail.
Observe the following points when assembling
the licence plate on the front licence plate
holder: 
Assemble the licence plate directly on
t

he licence plate holder without advertis-
ing media or other holders. 
Assemble the licence plate so that it
does no
t protrude above or to the side of
the licence plate adapter. General notes
