Driving and operating141button. Turn the steering wheeluntil the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● For hybrid vehicles, make sure READY is not illuminated in the
instrument cluster.
● Lock the vehicle.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 213.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Notice
In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a
certain time.
In countries with extreme low
temperatures it may be necessary to park the vehicle without applied
parking brake. Make sure to park the
vehicle on a level surface.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Exhaust filter
Automatic cleaning process
The exhaust filter system filters soot particles out of the exhaust gases.
The start of saturation of the exhaust
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of % or C ,
accompanied by a message in the
Driver Information Centre.
146Driving and operatingAutomatic transmission
electrified
This vehicle is a plug-in hybrid
vehicle. It has a combustion engine
and an automatic transmission with
integrated electrical engine which
enables electrical driving and
charging of the battery during the
deceleration and the braking of the
vehicle. Additionally, the battery can
be charged using a cable, e.g., at
domestic electric outlets or public
charging stations. The all-wheel drive
version has a second electrical
engine for the rear axle.Gear selectionP:park position, front wheels are
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the
parking brake is appliedR:reverse gear, engage only
when the vehicle is stationaryN/P:neutralD/B:automatic mode / automatic
mode with one-pedal driving
Do not accelerate while engaging a
gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the
brake is released.Shifting in / out of P
To shift into P, press P on the selector
lever.
To shift out of P:
1. Depress brake pedal and press the release button.
2. To shift into R, push the selector
forwards beyond the point of
resistance.
To shift into D, push the selector
backwards beyond the point of
resistance.
To shift into N, push the selector
forwards or backwards without
passing the point of resistance.Shifting into R 1. Depress the brake pedal and press the release button.
2. Shift into R using the gear
selector.Shifting into / out of B
B can only be activated if D is
selected.
Driving and operating151Drive systems
Drive modes The plug-in hybrid vehicle provides
several drive modes.
The drive modes can be selected via
the drive mode selector. The selected
drive mode is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre and in the Driver
Info Display. Selecting a drive mode
is only possible if READY is displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Hybrid system active 3 95.
AWD
The all-wheel drive mode improves
the grip of the vehicle. The vehicle is
driven by front and rear axle.
Depending on the driving situation
and the charge level of the high
voltage battery, the vehicle can be
driven 100% electrically.
All-wheel drive 3 151
Sport
This mode combines the power of the combustion engine and the electrical
engine for a dynamic driving style.
Hybrid
Hybrid mode focuses on optimising
the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Combustion engine and electrical
engine operate together or in
alternation depending on driving
conditions and driving style.
Electric
In this mode, the vehicle is driven by
the electric engine only. Electric
mode is the default mode.Electric propulsion is available for
speeds below 84 mph.
All-wheel drive
The all-wheel drive system enhances
driving characteristics and stability,
and helps to achieve the best
possible driveability.
In all-wheel drive mode, the front axle is driven by the combustion engine or
the electrical engine, the rear axle is
driven by a second electrical engine.
Driving and operating203Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
ignition and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
A label with symbols at the fuel filler
flap is indicating the allowed fuel
types. In Europe the pump nozzles of the filling stations are marked with
these symbols. Refuel only the
allowed fuel type.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Fuel filler flap is located at right rear
side of vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked. Open the
fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.
To open the fuel filler flap of a hybrid
vehicle, a depressurisation phase is
required to avoid the emission of fuel
vapour.
242Vehicle care11. Stow the replaced wheel, thevehicle tools 3 229 and the
adapter for the locking wheel nuts.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and the wheel nuttorque as soon as possible.
Stowing a damaged full size
wheel in the load compartment
All permitted wheel sizes can be
stowed in the spare wheel well. To
secure the wheel:1. Remove centre cap with the brand
emblem by pushing from the
inside.
2. Position the wheel outside down in the wheel well.
3. Secure the defective wheel with the wing nut.
4. Depending on the tyre size, the floor cover can be placed on the
projecting wheel.Jump starting
Do not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged vehicle
battery can be started using jump
leads and the vehicle battery of
another vehicle.Caution
Never jump start another vehicle
with a hybrid vehicle.
9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
Vehicle care245Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 172, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake during towing.
Switch the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than 60 miles. In all other
cases and when the transmission is
defective, the front axle must be
raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap with the flange into the
recess and fix cap by pushing.
Towing a hybrid vehicle9 Warning
Always tow the vehicle on a
platform. Avoid towing the vehicle
with two or four wheels on the
ground.
If necessary, the vehicle can be
moved a few metres at a speed
below 6 mph.
Before moving the car: Switch on ignition, depress the brake pedal,shift to N and switch off ignition.
Ensure the vehicle is only towed
by well trained technicians.
Towing another vehicle
Remove the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 229.
