WARNING
ARNING Risk offatal injury due toexpo-
sure toextreme heat or cold in theve hicle
If persons, particular lych ildren, are subjected
to prolonged exposure tointense heat or cold,
th ere is a risk of se vere injury or even death. #
Never lea vepersons, particular lych il-
dren, unattended in theve hicle. The
vehicle interior can be air conditioned when
th eve hicle is par ked.
When theve hicle is connected topowe r supply
equipment, priority is given tocharging the high-
vo ltage battery toa speci/ed minimum charge. The
running time of pre-entry clima tecont rol may
be reduced under thefo llowing conditions:
R The vehicle is not connected topowe r supply
equipment.
R The high-voltage battery is not charge d su1-
cient ly.
Wi th active pre-ent ryclimate cont rol,th ech arge
le ve l of the high-voltage battery may be reduced,
ev en if thech arging cable connector is connec-
te d.

Characteristics with high po
wer output requ ests:
R The electric mo tors support 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 on there ar axle is operated
as an 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 in electric mode
ge nerate signi/cantly less noise when station-
ary 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 when
driving and when at a standstill.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle alerting 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 alerting system:
R The sound generator generates a stationary
noise and speed-dependent vehicle noise
emissions up toa speed of about 30 km/h.
R This helps other road users, particular ly
pedest rians and cyclists, tohear your vehicle
better.
R When driving at speeds abo ve20 km/h the
acoustic vehicle alerting system gradually
switches theve hicle noise emissions o.. Manual disconnection of t

TE High-voltage battery damage due to
leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
of time Lithium-ion batteries
experience a natural self-
dischar ge.
Exhausti vedischarging can therefore occur if
th eve hicle is idle for se veral months. This can

TE Accelerated ageing of the high-volt-
age battery due tonot observing thefo l-
lowing recommendations As a
result of its basic characteristics, the
storage capacity of and the amount of energy
av ailable from the high-voltage battery decrease
over the course of its life. As a
re sult, the maximum electrical range that can
be achie vedby theve hicle is reduced and its
maximum electrical output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage batter y:
R a high le vel of charge , especially if the
ve hicle is idle for a lengt hyperiod of time
R leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
at high ambient temp eratures #
Toavo id accelerated ageing, please
obser vethefo llowing recommendations
when handling the high-voltage batter y. Re
commendations when handling the high-voltage
batter y:
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods,
park up theve hicle with a high- voltage battery
ch arge leve l between 25% and 30%. Do not
ke ep the high-voltage battery continuously
connected topowe r supply equipment. R
If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods of
time avoid, if possible, high ambient temp era-
tures.
R Check the high-voltage battery's charge level
ev ery six weeks (/ page 204).
R Char gethe high-voltage battery if thech arge
le ve l is below 15%.
R Ifth e high-voltage battery is only used with at
low charge leve ls, fully charge the high-voltage
battery every six months.
R Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
ve hicle is leT idle for a lengt hyperiod. Other-
wise, the condition of theve hicle's high- volt-
age battery cannot be monitored.
