Danger of electric shock
G
DANGER
The vehicle's high voltage electrical system is under high voltage. If you modify components
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system or touch damaged components, you may be
electrocuted. The components in the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Following an accident, do not touch any high- voltage components and never modify the
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system. Have
the vehicle towed away after an accident and the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop. All of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical sys-
tem components are marked with yellow
warning stickers which warn you about high
voltages. The cables of the vehicle's high-
voltage electrical system are orange.
When towing a vehicle after an accident, be
sure to observe the following sections:
R Transporting the vehicle (Y page 295)
R Towing the vehicle with the front axle raised
(Y page 295)
R Towing a vehicle with both axles on the
ground (Y page 294)
Read the important safety instructions on
towing away (Y page 292).
The ignition must be switched off when car-
rying out general tasks, such as changing
bulbs or checking the coolant level. Automatic switching off of the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system If the restraint systems are activated during
an accident, the vehicle's high-voltage elec-
trical system is automatically deactivated.
This is to ensure that you do not come into
contact with high voltage.
Automatic protection from switching
on of the vehicle's high-voltage electri-
cal system The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
not activated when the vehicle is started if:
R a serious electrical insulation malfunction
is detected in the vehicle's high-voltage
electrical system.
R an electrical connection in the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system is discon-
nected.
Automatic switching off of the charging process The charging process is deactivated automat-
ically if:
R the high-voltage battery is fully charged
The charging process is interrupted automat- ically if:
R a serious electrical insulation malfunction
is detected in the vehicle's high-voltage
electrical system.
R an electrical connection in the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system is discon-
nected.
High-voltage switch-off device !
The high-voltage system must only be
switched off at vehicle standstill by spe-
cially trained service engineers. Otherwise
the high-voltage system may be damaged. Int

Important safety notes
Xenon bulbs G
DANGER
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get an electric shock if you remove the cover of
the Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-
tacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-
tacts of the Xenon bulb. Always have work on
the Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
If your vehicle is equipped with Xenon bulbs,
you can recognize this by the following: the
cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the drive system. For this to be
observed, the lights must be switched on
before the drive system is started.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Other bulbs G
WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot when operating. If you change a bulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before changing a bulb. Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or if
its glass tube has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:
R you touch it
R it is hot
R you drop it
R you scratch it
Only operate bulbs in enclosed lamps
designed for that purpose. Only install spare
bulbs of the same type and the specified volt- age.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service
life of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube
with your bare hands. If necessary, clean the
glass tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and
rub it off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during opera-
tion. Do not allow bulbs to come into contact
with liquids.
There are bulbs other than the Xenon bulbs
that you cannot replace. Replace only the
bulbs listed (Y page 106). Have the bulbs that
you cannot replace yourself changed at a
qualified specialist workshop.
If you require assistance changing bulbs, con- sult a qualified specialist workshop.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly. Overview: changing bulbs/bulb types
You can change the following bulbs. The bulb type can be found in the legend. 106
