The consumption display shows the average en ­
ergy consumption and the recuperation quantity
in 5 minute intervals .
Calling up the consumption display

statistics.
The orange bars show the average consumption
and the green bars show the recuperation quanti­
ty . Each bar represents a measured 5 minute in­
terval. The display covers a
60 minute time peri ­
od .
The bar with the white border on the outer right shows the current average consumption or the
current recuperation quantity. After 5 minutes,
this bar travels a step to the left and a new bar
appears in the outer right.
The filled bars show the values for the current
drive cycle. Once the ignition is switched off and
on again, all of the previous bars are displayed as

not filled and new filled bars appear on the right.
This is so that the values from the previous trips
and the current trip can be compared visually .
Vehicle tool kit and tire repair set
Applies to vehicles: with hybrid drive
Fig. 115 Luggage compartmen t: v ehicle tool bag and tir e
repair set
The vehicle tool kit is found under a cover in the
cargo floor~
fig. 115 @. The tire repair set (Tire
Mobility System) is found in the storage com­
partment in the right side trim panel @.
Additional information about the vehicle tool kit
may be found under~
page 254 and about the
tire repair set under
~page 257 .
@ Tips
The right storage compartment in the lug­
gage compartment and its contents must al­
ways be kept in the vehicle. The vehicle must
not be operated without the tire repair set .
Charging the batteries
Applies to vehicles: with hybrid drive
The vehicle is equipped with two 12 volt batteries
and a high voltage battery.
If the 12 volt batteries are dead , they may be
charged with a charger or the vehicle may be
jump started with assistance from another vehi­
cle in the same way as a conventional vehicle.
The same applies to the high voltage battery if it
is discharged. However, in this case, the charging
process is accompanied with messages in the in­
strument cluster display. The ignition must be
switched on and all unnecessary electric compo- nents must be turned off. ..,.

.... .... The connections in the engine compartment are

¢ page 231 or¢ page 2 70.
Vehicle not ready to start. See owner's
manual
This message appears if the high voltage battery
charge level is too low. The vehicle can no longer
be started with its own power. The high voltage
battery must be charged with a charger or the ve­
hicle must be jump started with the a id of anoth­
er vehicle.
After the connecting the charger or jumper ca­ bles, the ignition must be turned off for approxi­
mately two minutes and then turned on again.
After no more than one m inute, one of the fol­
l owing indicator lights turns on in the instrument
cluster display .
B Charging battery. Please wait ...
If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the high voltage battery is charging or
the vehicle is be ing jump started with assistance
from another veh icle .
If the 12 volt batteries are dead, the -indi­
cator light turns on . The charging procedure
takes longer in this case because the 12 volt bat­
ter ies a re charged first. The procedure goes fast­
er with the ignit ion switched off.
Vehicle ready to start.
This message appears if the charging procedure
was successful. The vehicle may be started again .
Battery could not be charged enough to start
vehicle.
This message appears if the charging procedure
was not successful or it was interrupted. This
may happen if the charger or the battery in the
veh icle that is assist ing is too weak. If the ve hicle
cannot be started, see an authorized repair facili­
ty for ass istance.
(D Tips
- The charger should deliver a current of at
l east 30 A. Otherwise charging the high
voltage battery will take considerably Ion-
Hybrid
ger . A current between 50 A and 70 A is ide ­
al.
- The vehicle that is assisting should be some­
what within the same vehicle class when
jump starting a vehicle. A smaller vehicle's
battery may be drained.
- After approximately 30 minutes, the charg­
ing procedure ends because the ignition is
automatically turned off. If you wou ld like
to cont inue to charge the battery, turn the
ign ition on again .
Vehicle transport
App lies to vehicles: wit h hybrid drive
The following contains information you should

-Do not interchange the positive a nd nega­
tive cables.
- When working on the battery, be sure not to
short-circuit the terminals with tools or oth­
er metal objects. This would cause the bat­
tery to heat up very quickly, which could
lead to damage or explosion and personal
injury.
- When a battery is charged, it produces hy­
drogen gas which is explosive and could
cause personal injury.
- Always keep the battery well out of the reach of children.
- Before work is done on the electrical sys­
tem, disconnect the negative ground cable.
- Before performing any work on the electri­
cal system, switch off the engine and igni­
tion as well as any electrical equipment. The
negative cable on the battery must be dis­
connected. If you are just going to replace a
light b ulb, then it is enough to sw itch off
the lights.
- Before disconnecting the battery, switch off
the ant i-theft alarm system! Otherw ise you
will set off the a larm.
- When disconnecting the batte ry, first dis­
connect the negative cable and then the
positive cab le.
- Before reconnecting the battery, make sure
all e lectrical consumers are switched off .
Reconnect the posit ive cable first and then
the negative cable . Never interchange the
cables -this could start a fire!
- Never charge a frozen or a thawed-out bat­
tery. It could exp lode! If a battery has fro­
zen, then it must be replaced. A discharged
battery can freeze over at 32°F (0°C).
- Make sure the vent hose is a lways attached
to the opening on the side of the battery.
- Never use batteries which are damaged.
There is the danger of an explosion! Always replace a damaged battery.
A WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warn ing:
- Battery posts, termina ls and re lated acces­
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
C hecki ng an d Fill in g
chemicals known to the State of Californ ia
to cause cancer and reproductive prob lems.
Wash hands after handling.
(D Note
- Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when
the ignition is sw itched on or when the en­
gine is running, otherwise, you will damage
electronic components in the electrical sys­
tem .
- If your vehicle is going to stand for a long
period of time w ithout being driven, protect
the battery from "freezing", otherwise it
w ill be damaged and will then have to be re­
placed .
Battery charging
Starting the engine requires a well charged bat­
tery .

T he battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle interior . Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connected
with their
metal ports in full contact with the
battery term inals.
& WARNING ~
To avoid serious personal injury and damage
to the veh icle, heed all warnings and instruc­
tions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If in
doubt, call for road
service.
-Jumper cables must be long enough so that
