Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all models,
series and optional equipment for your vehi-
cle that were available at the time of going to
press. National variations are possible. Note
that your vehicle may not be equipped with all
of the functions described. This is also the
case for systems and functions relevant to
safety.

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 401)
R Towing the vehicle with both axles on the
ground (Y page 401)
Read the safety instructions on towing and tow- starting (Y page 399). 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 carrying out general work, such as replacing bulbs or
checking the coolant level.
Automatic switch-off of the hybrid drive system If components of the restraint system are acti-
vated during an accident, the hybrid drive sys-
tem 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 contact with high voltage.
Manual switch-off of the hybrid drive
system The hybrid drive system can be deactivated
manually using the high voltage switch-off
device.
! To prevent damage to the hybrid drive sys-
tem please observe the following instruc-
tions:
R only deactivate the hybrid drive system
manually in the following situations.
R work on the hybrid drive system may only
be carried out at a qualified specialist work- shop, even when it has been deactivated
manually. Hybrid vehicles
