voltage electrical system. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop. Immediately switch off the ignition and remove the SmartKey from the ignition
lock after an accident.
If components of the restraint system are
activated during an accident, the hybrid sys-
tem is automatically deactivated.
The hybrid system is not activated when the
vehicle is started if:
R a short circuit is detected in the hybrid sys-
tem.
R one of the hybrid system’s electrical con-
nections is disconnected.
This ensures that you do not come into con-
tact with high voltage.
Manual deactivation of the hybrid sys-
tem The hybrid system can be deactivated man-
ually using the high voltage switch-off device.
! To prevent damage to the hybrid system
please observe the following instructions:
R only deactivate the hybrid system man-
ually in the following situations.
R work on the hybrid system may only be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop, even when it has been deactivated
manually.
R if the 6 restraint system warning lamp
in the instrument cluster lights up after an
accident.
R if the vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an
accident, and the restraint system compo-
nents were not activated.
R if the vehicle is badly damaged and has to
be towed or transported. X
If possible, move the vehicle out of the
danger zone: shift the automatic transmis-
sion into position N.
X Release the electric parking brake.
X Roll the vehicle to a safe place and park it
safely.
Get assistance from others if necessary.
i The vehicle is locked automatically when
the ignition is switched on and the wheels
are turning. There is therefore a risk of
being locked out if the vehicle is being
pushed or tested on a dynamometer.
X Switch the ignition off.
X Shift the automatic transmission to park
position P(Y page 197).
Depress the electric parking brake
(Y page 222).
Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(Y page 466).
X To use the high-voltage switch-off
device: open the trunk lid.
X Lift the trunk floor upwards (Y page 377).
X Remove the right-hand paneling in the
trunk. X
Press release clip :in the direction of the
arrow and pull it out.
X Pull the high voltage switch-off device ;
apart until it engages in the stop position.
If the hybrid system has been deactivated due to reasons mentioned above, have it checked
at a qualified specialist workshop before
reactivation. Hybrid vehicles
47Safety Z

High-voltage battery
G
WARNING
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal pres- sure of the high-voltage battery can exceed a
critical value. In this case flammable gas
escapes through a ventilation valve on the
underbody. The gas can ignite. There is a risk of injury.
Leave the danger zone immediately. Secure
the danger area at a suitable distance, whilst
observing legal requirements. G
WARNING
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damaged, electrolyte and gases may
leak out. These are poisonous and caustic.
There is a risk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes off
with water and seek medical attention
straight away.
! Exhaustive discharge caused by the vehi-
cle standing idle for lengthy periods can
damage the high-voltage battery.
Hybrid vehicles: if the vehicle is idle for
lengthy periods, run it for a few minutes
once every six weeks to charge up the high- voltage battery. During the charging proc-
ess, switch off all electrical consumers, e.g.
the automatic climate control or the seat
heating.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles: if the vehicle is
idle for lengthy periods leave the high-volt- age battery connected to a charging sta-
tion.
PLUG-IN HYBRID vehicles: charging the high-
voltage battery (Y page 209).
Engine compartment Before opening the hood:
X Apply the electric parking brake.
X Shift the automatic transmission to park
position P. X
Switch the ignition off.
X Remove the Start/Stop button from the
ignition lock (Y page 189).
or X If the SmartKey is inserted in the ignition
lock: remove the SmartKey from the igni-
tion lock.
X Observe the warning notes on the risk of
electric shock (Y page 46).
X Observe the warning notices about the
hood (Y page 404). RBS driving safety system (Recupera-
tive Brake System)
The Recuperative Braking System supports
you when braking with an electronically-con-
trolled brake boost mode and enables the
recovery of kinetic energy (recuperation). G
WARNING
If the Recuperative Braking System malfunc-
tions, braking resistance may be reduced and brake pedal travel may be longer than usual. If
you subsequently depress the brake pedal as usual, the braking effect may not be sufficient.
There is a risk of an accident.
In the event of this malfunction, continue to
depress the brake pedal. Stop the vehicle in
accordance with the traffic conditions. If nec-
essary, contact a qualified specialist work-
shop.

Braking System (Y page 276).48

R
vehicles with mbrace: automatic emer-
gency call
R vehicles with the hybrid drive system: the
hybrid system and the high-voltage electri-
cal system are deactivated Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
Accident statistics show that children
secured in the rear seats are safer than chil-
dren secured in the front-passenger seat. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises
that you install a child restraint system on a
rear seat. Children are generally better pro-
tected there.
If a child younger than 12 years and under 5 ft
(1.50 m) in height is traveling in the vehicle:
R always secure the child in a child restraint
system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cles. The child restraint system must be
appropriate to the age, weight and size of
the child
R be sure to observe the instructions and
safety notes in this section in addition to
the child restraint system manufacturer's
installation instructions
R be sure to observe the instructions and
safety notes on the "Occupant classifica-
tion system (OCS)" (Y page 59)G
WARNING
If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi- cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:
R release the parking brake.
R shift the automatic transmission out of the
parking position P.
R start the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. G
WARNING
If persons, particularly children are subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold, there is a risk of injury, possibly even
fatal. Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is subjected to
direct sunlight, parts may get very hot. Chil-
dren may burn themselves on these parts,
particularly on the metal parts of the child
restraint system. There is a risk of injury.
If you leave the vehicle, taking the child with
you, always ensure that the child restraint
system is not exposed to direct sunlight. Pro- tect it with a blanket, for example. If the child
restraint system has been exposed to direct
sunlight, let it cool down before securing the
child in it. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sit- ting properly. Particular attention must be
paid to children.
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Y page 51) and the notes on correct use of
seat belts (Y page 53).
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children over
41 lbs (18 kg) or until they reach a height
where a lap/shoulder belt can be fastened
properly without a booster seat. Special seat belt retractor
G
WARNING
If the seat belt is released while driving, the
child restraint system will no longer be
secured properly. The special seat belt retrac- tor is disabled and the inertia real draws in a
portion of the seat belt. The seat belt cannot
be immediately refastened. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal. Children in the vehicle
