The orange bars show the average consumption
and the green bars show the recuperation quanti­
ty. Each bar represents a measured
5 minute in­
terval. The display covers a
60 minute time peri ­
od .
The bar with the white border on the outer right
shows the current average consumption or the
current recuperation quantity. After 5 minutes,
this bar travels a step to the left and a new bar
appears in the outer right.
The filled bars show the values for the current
drive cycle . Once the ignition is switched off and
on again, all of the previous bars are displayed as

Vehicle tool kit and tire repair set
Applies to vehicles: wit h hybrid drive
Fig. 115 Luggage compart ment: vehicle tool bag an d tir e
r epa ir set
The veh icle tool kit is found under a cover in the
cargo floor
~ fig . 115 @. The t i re repair set (Ti re
Mobility System) is found in the storage compart­
ment in the right s ide trim pane l@ .
Additional information about the vehicle tool kit
may be found under~
page 255 and about the
t ir e repair set under ~
page 258 .
@ Tips
The right storage compartment in the lug­
gage compartment and its contents must al­
ways be kept in the vehicle. The vehicle must
not be operated without the tire repair set.
Charging the batteries
Applies to vehicles: wit h hybrid drive
The vehicle is equipped with two 12 volt batteries
and a high vo ltage battery.
If the
12 volt batteries are dead, they may be
charged with a charger or the vehicle may be
j u mp started with assistance from another veh i­
cle in the same way as a conventional vehicle .
The same applies to the high voltage battery if it
is d ischarged . However, in this case, the charging
process is accompanied w ith messages in the in­
strument cluster display. The ignition must be
switched on and a ll unnecessary electric compo -
nents must be turned off.

m anu al
This message appears if the h igh voltage battery
charge leve l is too low. The vehicle can no longer
be started with its own power. The high voltage
battery must be charged with a charger or the ve­
h icle must be jump started with the aid of anoth­
er vehicle .
After the connecting the charger or jumper ca­ bles, the ign it ion must be turned off for approxi­
mately two minutes and then turned on again .
After no more than one minute, one of the fol­ lowing indicator lights turns on in the instrument
cluste r display .
B Charging battery. Plea se wait ...
If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the high voltage battery is charging or
the vehicle is be ing jump started w ith assistance
from another vehicle .
If the 12 volt batter ies are dead , the - indi­
cator light turns on . The charging procedure
takes longer in this case because the 12 volt bat­
ter ies are charged first . T he p rocedure goes fast­
er with the ig nition sw itched off.
Vehicle ready to st art.
This message appears if the charg ing procedure
was successful. The vehicle may be started aga in.
B atter y could n ot be ch arged en ough to st ar t
v eh icle.
This message appears if the charg ing procedure
was not successful or it was interrupted . This
may happen if the charger or the battery in the
veh icle that is assist ing is too weak. If the veh icle
can not be started, see a n author ized repair fac il i­
ty for ass istance.
(D Tips
- The charger shou ld deliver a current of at
l east 30 A. Otherw ise charging t he h igh
voltage battery w il l take considerab ly Lon-
106
ger . A cu rrent between 50 A and 70 A is ide ­
al.
- T he veh icle that is assist ing shou ld be some­
what within the same veh icle class when
jump starting a vehicle. A smaller vehicle's
battery may be drained.
- After approximately 30 minutes , the charg­
ing procedure ends because the ignition is
automatically turned off. If you wo uld like
to cont inue to charge the battery, turn the
ignition on again .
Vehicle transport
Applies to vehicles : with hybrid drive
The following contains information you should
know abou t transporting your vehicle.
The lithium ion battery (SANYO 72 UF 121 285)
i nsta lled in your vehicle has passed test 38 .3 in
accordance with UN handbook tes ts and criteria.
T he vehicle may be transported w ith the battery
i nstalled as conventional class 9 hazardous mate­
ria ls without addit ional official consent for air
and sea transpo rtation (cu rrent law !CAO-TI and
IMDG-Code 01.01.2012).

Checking and Filling
-Do not interchange the positive and nega­
tive cables .
- When working on the battery, be sure not to
short-circuit the terminals with tools or oth­
er metal objects. This would cause the bat­
tery to heat up very quickly, which could
lead to damage or explosion and personal
injury .
- When a battery is charged, it produces hy­
drogen gas which is explosive and could
cause personal injury.
- Always keep the battery well out of the
reach of children .
- Before work is done on the electrical sys­
tem, disconnect the negative ground cable .
- Before performing any work on the electri­
cal system, switch off the engine and igni ­
tion as well as any electrical equipment. The
negative cable on the battery must be dis­
connected. If you are just going to replace a
light bulb, then it is enough to switch off
the lights.
- Before disconnecting the battery, switch off
the anti-theft alarm system! Otherwise you
will set off the alarm.
- When disconnecting the battery, first dis­
connect the negative cable and then the
positive cable.
- Before reconnecting the battery, make sure
all electrical consumers are switched off. Re­
connect the positive cable first and then the
negative cable . Never interchange the ca­
bles -this could start a fire!
- Never charge a frozen or a thawed-out bat­
tery. It could explode! If a battery has fro­
z en, then it must be replaced . A discharged
battery can freeze over at 32°F (O°C).
- Make sure the vent hose is always attached
to the opening on the side of the battery .
- Never use batteries which are damaged.
There is the danger of an explosion! Always
replace a damaged battery.
A WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
- Battery posts, terminals and related acces­
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
232
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive problems.
Wash hands after handling.
(D Note
- Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when
the ignition is switched on or when the en­
gine is running, otherwise , you will damage
electronic components in the electrical sys­
tem .
- If your vehicle is going to stand for a long
period of time without being driven, protect
the battery from "freezing", otherwise it
will be damaged and will then have to be re­ placed.
Battery charging
Starting the engine requires a well charged bat­tery .

Emergency situation s
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the bat­
tery manager system must be able to detect
the battery's state of charge. Always con­ nect the negative ground cable to the nega ­
tive ground post of the battery manager
control un it.

Starting the engine
• Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster
battery @. Run the eng ine at a moderate
speed.
• Start engine with discharged vehicle battery @
in the usual manner.
• lfthe engine fails to start: do not keep the
starter cranking for longer than 10 seconds.

• With engine running, remove jumper cables
from both vehicles in the exact
reverse order .
• Close the cover @on the positive terminal and
re-install the cover@¢
fig. 22 7.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle interior . Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connected
with their
metal parts in full contact with the
batte ry terminals.
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage
to the veh icle, heed all warnings and instruc­
tions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If in
doubt, call for road service.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so that
the vehicles do not touch. ..,.
