GER Risk of exhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
ga ses such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
ga ses can enter theve hicle interior if the boot
lid is open when theve hicle is running, espe-
cially if theve hicle is in motion. #
Always switch o. theve hicle before
opening the boot lid. #
Never drive with the boot lid open. &

WARNING
ARNING Risk of injury from unsecured
items in theve hicle
If objects, lug gage or loads are not secured or
not secured su1cient ly,they could slip, tip ov
er or be thro wn around and thereby hit vehi-
cle occupants.
There is a risk of injur y,particular lyin the
eve nt of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction. #
Always st owobjects in such a wayth at

Before the journe y,secure objects, lug-
ga ge or loads against slipping or tipping

being st owed incor rectly
If objects in theve hicle interior are st owed
incor rectl y,they can slide or be thro wn around
and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open st owage spaces and mobile
phone brac kets cannot alw aysreta in all

Call the /re brigade. The
hybrid system combines a combustion engine
with an electric mo tor.
Characteristics when theve hicle is at a standstill:
R The combustion engine is generally switched
o..
R Idle speed only occurs in cer tain instances.
Characteristics when starting theve hicle:
R Ifth e high-voltage battery is su1ciently
ch arge d, theve hicle can be star ted with the
electric drive without the combustion engine
(noiseless start).
R Ifth e high-voltage battery forth e electrical
drive is not su1ciently charge d or the operat-

not been reached, theve hicle can start with

%
Depending on the system, it may happen that
ev en though the high-voltage battery is
ch arge d, electric mode has restric ted or no
av ailabilit y.Once the combustion engine has
been operated for long enough, electric mode
is again available without restriction.
Charac teristics wi thmoderate po wer output
re qu ests:
R The combustion engine is switched o. as
oTen as possible during the journe y.
R The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gr am selected and the battery charge leve l, be
accelerated electrically up tospeeds of about
140 km/h.
Characteristics with high po wer output requ ests:
R The electric mo tor supports the combustion
engine (boost e.ect), e.g. when pulling away
or accelerating.
R The high-voltage battery is discharging.
Characteristics when releasing the accelerator
pedal during the journe y:
R The electric mo tor is operated as a alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking. R
The high-voltage battery is charging.
No tes on elect ric mode:
R Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signi/-
cant lyless noise when stationary and when
being driven than vehicles with combustion
engines.
R When driving in elect ric mode, theve hicle may
not be heard by otherroad users due tothe
signi/cant lyreduced noise generated.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (A VAS).
R If not all of theve hicle conditions for electric
mode are met, then the combustion engine is
switched on.

No tes on the acoustic vehicle warning system:
R The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving fo
rw ard or backing up at a speed of up to
around 30 km/h.
R This helps other road users, particular ly
pedest rians and cyclists, tohear your vehicle
