with appropriately trained personnel. Other‐
wise, there is the risk of fatal injury from electric
shock due to the hybrid system's high voltage. ◀
Hybrid system: contact with water

following example situations:▷Water in the footwell, for instance after a
rainstorm when the glass sunroof is open.▷Vehicle is in the water, such as in the event
of high water levels.▷Liquid escapes in the trunk.
In these cases there is no risk of injury from elec‐
tric shock. Other damage to the vehicle is pos‐
sible.
Hybrid system: automatic deactivation
If an accident occurs, the hybrid system is
switched off automatically to prevent risk of dan‐
ger to occupants and other road users.

voltage components such as orange colored
high-voltage cables or parts that are in contact
with exposed high-voltage cables. Otherwise,
there is the risk of fatal injury from electric shock
due to the hybrid system's high voltage.◀
Escaping fluids

hicle, compliance with the following additional
safety precautions is required with regard to the

Car washes
Hints Steam jets or high-pressure washers
When using steam jets or high-pressure
washers, hold them a sufficient distance away
and use a maximum temperature of
140 ℉/60 ℃.
Ensure that a distance of at least 31.5 in‐
ches/80 cm from the glass sunroof is maintained
at all times. Holding them too close or using ex‐
cessively high pressures or temperatures can
cause damage or preliminary damage that may
then lead to long-term damage.
Follow the user's manual for the high-pressure
washer.◀
Cleaning sensors/cameras with high-
pressure washers
When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the exterior sensors and cameras, e.g.,
Park Distance Control, for extended periods of
time and only from a distance of at least
12 in/30 cm.◀
Regularly remove foreign items such as leaves
in the area below the windshield when the hood

ter.Intense soiling and road salt can damage the ve‐
hicle.

that use soft brushes in order to avoid paint
damage.▷Make sure that the wheels and tires are not
damaged by the transport mechanisms.▷Fold in the exterior mirrors; otherwise, they
may be damaged, depending on the width of
the vehicle.▷Deactivate the rain sensor, refer to page 69,
to avoid unintentional wiper activation.▷In some cases, an unintentional alarm can be
triggered by the interior motion sensor of the
alarm system. Follow the instructions on
avoiding an unintentional alarm, refer to
page 45.
