WARNING
ARNING Risk of accident despite Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist Plus
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not react
to:
R road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
R road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. bya bar rier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist Plus may failto recognise other road
users with their own lighting, or may recognise
th em too late.
In these, or in similar situations, the automatic
high beam will not be deactivated or will be
activated despite the presence of other road
users. #
Always obser vethero ad and tra1c con-
ditions carefully and switch o. the high
beam in good time. Ad
aptive Highbeam Assist Plus cann ottake into
account road, weather or tra1c conditions.
De tection may be restric ted in thefo llowing
cases:
R in poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
R ifth ere is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only an aid. Yo u
are responsible for adjusting theve hicle's lighting
to the pr evailing light, visibility and tra1c condi-
tions. 144 144

WARNING
ARNING Risk of burns from hot compo-
nent parts whilst replacing a bulb
Bulbs, lamps and plugs can become very hot
during operation.
When replacing a bulb, you could burn your-
self on these component parts. #
Allow the component parts tocool down
before replacing the bulb. R
Do not use a bulb if it has been dropped or if
its glass has been scratched. The bulb may
otherwise explode.
R Do not touch the glass bulb with your bare
hands.

Call the /re brigade. The
hybrid system combines a combustion engine
with an electric mo tor.
Characteristics when theve hicle is at a standstill:
R The combustion engine is generally switched
o..
R Idle speed only occurs in cer tain instances.
Characteristics when starting theve hicle:
R Ifth e high-voltage battery is su1ciently
ch arge d, theve hicle can be star ted with the
electric drive without the combustion engine
(noiseless start).
R Ifth e high-voltage battery forth e electrical
drive is not su1ciently charge d or the operat-
ing temp erature of the combustion engine has not been
reached, theve hicle can start with
th e combustion engine.
% Depending on the system, it may happen that
ev en though the high-voltage battery is
ch arge d, electric mode has restric ted or no
av ailabilit y.Once the combustion engine has
been operated for long enough, electric mode
is again available without restriction.
% Tostart the combustion engine, the high-volt-
age battery can be used as a star ter batter y.
Characteristics with moderate po wer output
re qu ests:
R The combustion engine is switched o. as
oTen as possible during the journe y.
R The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gr am selected and the battery charge leve l, be
accelerated electrically up tospeeds of about
140 km/h.
Characteristics with high po wer output requ ests:
R The electric mo tor supports the combustion
engine (boost e.ect), e.g. when pulling away
or accelerating.
R The high-voltage battery is discharging. 166 166
Driving and parking

Characteristics when
releasing the accelerator
pedal during the journe y:
R The electric mo tor is operated as a alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking.
R The high-voltage bat tery isch arging.
No tes on elect ric mode:
R Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signi/-
cant lyless noise when stationary and when
being driven than vehicles with combustion
engines.
R When driving in elect ric mode, theve hicle may
not be heard by otherroad users due tothe
signi/cantly reduced noise generated.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (A VAS).
R If not all of theve hicle conditions for electric
mode are met, then the combustion engine is
switched on.
