Deactivate the hybrid system manually if:
Rthe6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up after an accident
Rthe vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an
accident, and the restraint system compo-
nents were not activated
Rthe vehicle is badly damaged and has to be
towed or transported
XIf possible, move the vehicle out of the
danger zone: shift the automatic transmis-
sion into position N.
XRelease the electric parking brake.
XRoll the vehicle to a safe place and park it
safely.
Get assistance from others if necessary.
iThe 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.
XSwitch the ignition off.
XShift the automatic transmission to park posi-
tion P(Ypage 170).
Depress the electric parking brake
(
Ypage 190).
Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(
Ypage 406).
XTo use the high-voltage switch-off device:
open the trunk lid.
XLift the trunk floor upwards (Ypage 329).
XRemove the right-hand paneling in the trunk.
XPress release clip :in the direction of the
arrow and pull it out.
XPull the high voltage switch-off device ;
apart until it engages in the stop position.
If the hybrid drive system has been deactivated
due to reasons mentioned above, have it checked at a qualified specialist workshop
before reactivation.
High-voltage battery
GWARNING
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.
GWARNING
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 vehicle
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 process, switch
off all electrical consumers, e.g. the auto-
matic climate control or the seat heating.
PLUG-IN HYBRID vehicles: make sure that
the high-voltage battery is connected to a
charging station during long periods when the
vehicle is standing idle.
PLUG-IN HYBRID vehicles: charging the high-
voltage battery (
Ypage 180).

Before opening the hood:
XApply the electric parking brake.
XShift the automatic transmission to park posi-
tion P.
XSwitch the ignition off.

Safety
Z

RPress the remote operating switch on the
driver's door, or
RIn vehicles with HANDS-FREE ACCESS:
kick into the sensor detection range under
the bumper with your foot.
iIf theF button on the SmartKey is
pressed or HANDS-FREE ACCESS is initiated
after the closing process is stopped, the trunk
lid opens.
Vehicles with trunk lid remote closing fea-
ture and KEYLESS-GO: when all the doors are
closed, you can simultaneously close the trunk
lid and lock the vehicle. The SmartKey must be
located to the rear of the vehicle.
XPress and release locking button ;on the
trunk lid.
If a KEYLESS-GO key is detected outside the
vehicle, the trunk lid closes and the vehicle
locks.
If KEYLESS-GO detects a second SmartKey out- side the vehicle, the trunk lid remains closed.
If KEYLESS-GO detects a SmartKey in the trunk,
the trunk lid opens again after it is closed.
HANDS-FREE ACCESS
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The vehicle's exhaust system may be very hot. You could burn yourself by touching the
exhaust system if you use HANDS-FREE
ACCESS. There is a risk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make the kicking move-
ment within the detection range of sensors.
!If the SmartKey is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the uninten-
tional opening of the trunk:
Rusing a car wash
Rusing a power washer
Make sure that the SmartKey is at least 10 ft
(3 m) away from the vehicle.
General notes
With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS,
you can open or close the trunk lid or stop the
procedure without using your hands. This is use- ful if you have your hands full. To do this, make
a kicking movement under the bumper with your
foot.
Observe the following points:
RCarry your KEYLESS-GO key about your per-
son. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in the rear
detection range of the vehicle.
RWhen making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise
lose your balance e.g. on ice.
RAlways ensure that you only make the kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors
:.
RStand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
RDo not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.
RHANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
RDirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
RUsing the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
RIf a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear detec-
tion range of KEYLESS-GO, HAND-FREE
ACCESS could be triggered. The trunk lid
could thus be opened or closed unintention-
ally, for example, if you:
-sit on the edge of the trunk.
-set something down or lift something up
behind the vehicle.
-move the charging cable through the detec-
tion range of the sensors.
-polish the rear of the vehicle.
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about your
person in these situations or in situations sim-

Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
!Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the windshield
becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the
windshield wipers may be activated inadver-
tently. This could then damage the windshield wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
