WARNING
ARNING Risk of injury due toobjects
being st owed incor rectly
If objects in theve hicle interior are st owed
incor rectl y,they can slide or be thro wn around
and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open st owage spaces and mobile
phone recep tacles cannot alw aysreta in all
objects within.
There is a risk of injur y,particular lyin the
eve nt of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction. #
Always st owobjects so that they cann ot
be thro wn around in such situations. #
Always make sure that objects do not
pr otru de from st owage spaces, lug gage
nets or st owage nets. #
Close the loc kable st owage spaces
before starting a jou rney. #
Always st owand secure heavy, hard,
poin ted, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky
objects in the boot/load compartment. Obser
vethe no tes on loading theve hicle. &
W WARNING ARNING Risk of /re from placing objects
in the mobile phone st owage compart-
ment

Depending on theve hicle equipment, the
mobile phone is connected totheve hicle's
ex terior aerial via thech arging module. R
The charging function and wireless connection
of the mobile phone totheve hicle's exterior
aerial are only available if theve hicle is
switched on.
R Small mobile phones may not be able tobe
ch arge d in every position of the mobile phone
st ow age compartment.
R Largemobile phones which do not rest 0at in
th e mobile phone st owage compartment may
not be able tobe charge d or connected with
th eve hicle's exterior aerial.
R The mobile phone may heat up during the
ch arging process. This depends on the appli-
cations (apps) cur rently running.
The mobile phone can be cooled in the mobile
phone st owage compartment when the air
conditioning system is switched on. The cool-
ing output in the mobile phone st owage com-
partment is highest when the controller in the
glo vebox is closed.
R Toensure more e1cient charging and connec-
tion with theve hicle's exterior aerial, remo ve

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.
Charac teristics wi thmoderate 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.
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 battery is charging.
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/cant lyreduced 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.

No tes on the acoustic vehicle warning system:
R The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving fo
rw ard or backing up at a speed of up to
around 30 km/h.
R This helps other road users, particular ly

TE Accelerated ageing of the high-volt-

ses over the course of its life. Due tothis, bo th th
e maximum electrical range that can be ach-

R leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
at high ambient temp eratures #
Toavo id accelerated ageing, please

commendations when handling the high-voltage
batter y:
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods,
park up theve hicle with a high- voltage battery
ch arge leve l between 30% and 50%. Do not
ke ep the high-voltage battery continuously
connected topowe r supply equipment.
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods of
time avoid, if possible, high ambient temp era-
tures. R
Check the high-voltage battery's charge level
ev ery six weeks (/ page 341).
R Char gethe high-voltage battery if thech arge

R Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
