Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 28). Hybrid vehicles
General notes
Hybrid technology combines a fuel-efficient
internal combustion engine with a powerful
electric motor. Important safety notes
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.
Do not touch any high-voltage components
after an accident and never modify the vehi-
cle'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.
When towing a vehicle after an accident, be
sure to observe the following sections:
R Transporting the vehicle (Y page 448)
R Towing the vehicle with both axles on the
ground (Y page 447) Read the safety instructions on towing and
tow-starting (Y
page 445). All components of the hybrid drive system are
marked with yellow warning stickers that
warn you of the danger of high voltage. The
cables of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system are orange in colour.
The ignition must be switched off when car-
rying out general work, such as changing
bulbs or checking the coolant level.
Automatic switching off of the hybrid
drive system If components of the restraint system are
activated during an accident, the hybrid drive
system is automatically deactivated.
The hybrid drive system is not activated when
the vehicle is started if:
R an electrical short circuit is detected in the
hybrid drive system
R an electrical connection in the hybrid drive
system is disconnected
This ensures that you do not come into con-
tact with high voltage.
Manual switching off of the hybrid drive system The hybrid drive system can be deactivated
manually using the high voltage switch-off
device.44
