High-voltage switch-off device
!
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
must only be switched off when the vehicle is stationary by specially trained technicians.
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
may otherwise be damaged. Your vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage
switch-off device :which can be used to
switch off the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system.
Mobile phone aerial !
It is not permitted to retrofit a mobile phone
aerial.
trailer tow hitch !
It is not permitted to retrofit a trailer cou-
pling.
Warning Vehicles with an electric motor generate signif-
icantly less noise than vehicles with internal
combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle
may not be heard by other road users until it is
very close to them, or it may not be heard at all.
This is particularly the case if other road users
have not yet seen your vehicle but are instead
relying on hearing. Drive with particular care,
allowing for the possibility that other road users may behave unpredictably.
The vehicle can be equipped with a sound gen-
erator. The sound generator is activated so that
other road users can hear your vehicle better.
The sound generator is activated at speeds
under 30 km/h and switches off automatically
at higher speeds. Declarations of conformity
Wireless vehicle components The following information applies to all compo-
nents of the vehicle and the information sys-
tems and communication devices integrated
into the vehicle which receive and/or transmit
radio waves:
The components of this vehicle that receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with
the basic requirements and all other relevant
conditions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can

Start/Stop button General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with
keys featuring an integrated KEYLESS-GO func- tion and a detachable Start/Stop button.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when starting the drivesystem.
When you insert the Start/Stop button into the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds recognition time. You can then use the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different key positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the drive system starts
immediately.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
R the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock
R the key must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the key or
KEYLESS-GO (Y page 72)
Do not keep the KEYLESS-GO key:
R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal film
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the functionality of KEYLESS-GO.
If you lock the vehicle with the key's remote
control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button
R you will not be able to start the drive system
with the Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the front door (Y page 79), you can continue
to start the drive system with the Start/Stop
button.
The drive system can be switched off while the
vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the
Start/Stop button for three seconds.

the mains socket
Charging cable Important safety notes
! Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charging
cable for other purposes. It may otherwise be damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a three-phase 32 A
charging cable. A single-phase 13 A charging
cable (Switzerland: 16 A) can be optionally
ordered.
When charging the vehicle using the mains
socket, use the single-phase 13 A (Switzerland:
16 A) charging cable.
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 134).
If you use the supplied 13 A charging cable
(Switzerland: 16 A) as opposed to the 32 A
charging cable to charge the high-voltage bat-
tery:
R the charge time increases considerably
R electrical consumption increases considera-
bly
For this reason, always charge the high-voltage
battery from a wallbox (Y page 142) or at a
charging station (Y page 142). Only then can
certified electrical energy consumption levels
be reached.
i The charging process can vary depending on
the charging station. Therefore, always
observe the local information. High-voltage battery

Problems with PARKTRONIC
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions Only the red segments in
the PARKTRONIC warn-
ing displays are lit. You
also hear a warning tone
for approximately two
seconds.
PARKTRONIC is then
deactivated and the indi-
cator lamp on the
PARKTRONIC button
lights up. PARKTRONIC has malfunctioned and has been deactivated.
X If problems persist, have PARKTRONIC checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Only the red segments in
the PARKTRONIC warn-
ing displays are lit.
PARKTRONIC is then
deactivated. The PARKTRONIC sensors are dirty or there is interference.
X
Clean the PARKTRONIC sensors (Y page 245).
X Switch the ignition back on. The problem may be caused by an external source of radio or ultra-
sound waves.
X See if PARKTRONIC functions in a different location. Active Parking Assist
General notes Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking aid
with ultrasound. It measures the road on both
sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol indicates a suitable parking space. Active steering inter-
vention can assist you during manoeuvring and
parking. You may also use PARKTRONIC
(Y page 155).
Important safety notes Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the immediate
surroundings. The responsibility for safe
manoeuvring and parking remains with you.
Make sure that no persons, animals or objects
are in the manoeuvring range.
When PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Active Park-
ing Assist is also unavailable. G
WARNING
While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could cause you to collide with other road users.
There is a risk of an accident.
Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the Active Park- ing Assist parking procedure.
! If unavoidable, you should drive over obsta-
cles such as kerbs slowly and not at a sharp
angle. Otherwise, you may damage the
wheels or tyres.
Active Parking Assist may also display spaces
not suitable for parking, e.g.: R parking or stopping prohibitions
R in front of driveways or entrances and exits
R unsuitable surfaces
Parking tips:
R on narrow roads, drive as closely as possible
past the parking space
R parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly
R parking spaces that are partially occupied by
trailer drawbars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly
R snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately 158
