Deactivate the hybrid system manually if:
Rthe6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up after an accident
Rthe vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an
accident, and the restraint system compo-
nents were not activated
Rthe vehicle is badly damaged and has to be
towed or transported
XIf possible, move the vehicle out of the
danger zone: shift the automatic transmis-
sion into position N.
XRelease the electric parking brake.
XRoll the vehicle to a safe place and park it
safely.
Get assistance from others if necessary.
The vehicle is locked automatically when the
ignition is switched on and the wheels are turn-
ing. There is therefore a risk of being locked out
if the vehicle is being pushed or tested on a
dynamometer.
XSwitch the ignition off.
XShift the automatic transmission to park posi-
tion P.
Depress the electric parking brake
(
Ypage 179).
Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(
Ypage 409).
XTo use the high-voltage switch-off device:
open the tailgate.
XLift the cargo compartment floor up
(Ypage 337).
XPull off the right-hand paneling in the cargo
compartment.
XPress release clip :in the direction of the
arrow and pull it out.
XPull the high voltage switch-off device ;
apart until it engages in the stop position. If the hybrid drive system has been deactivated
due to reasons mentioned above, have it
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
before reactivation.
High-voltage battery
GWARNING
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal pres- sure of the high-voltage battery can exceed a
critical value. In this case flammable gas
escapes through a ventilation valve on the
underbody. The gas can ignite. There is a risk
of injury.
Leave the danger zone immediately. Secure
the danger area at a suitable distance, whilst
observing legal requirements.
GWARNING
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damaged, electrolyte and gases may
leak out. These are poisonous and caustic.
There is a risk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes off
with water and seek medical attention
straight away.
!Exhaustive discharge caused by the vehicle
standing idle for lengthy periods can damage
the high-voltage battery. If the vehicle is idle
for lengthy periods leave the high-voltage bat-
tery connected to a charging station.
Charging the high-voltage battery (
Ypage 169).
Engine compartment
Before opening the hood:
XApply the electric parking brake.
XShift the transmission to position P.
XSwitch the ignition off.
XRemove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.
or, in vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start-function
or KEYLESS ‑GO
XRemove the Start/Stop button from the igni-
tion lock.
