Stop thech arging process immediately
in case of unusual odours, smoke or

Leavethe danger zone immediatel y.
Secure the danger zone at a su1cient

Call the /re service. 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
(silent start).
R Ifth e high-voltage battery forth e electric drive

Depending on the system, it may be that even
th ough the high-voltage battery is charge d,
electric mode has restric ted or no availabilit y.
Once the combustion engine has been oper-
ated for long enough, electric mode is again
av ailable without restriction.
Charac teristics wi thmoderate po wer output
re qu ests:
R The combustion engine is switched o. as
oTen as possible during a journe y.
R The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gr am selected and the state of charge ofthe
high- voltage batter y,be accelerated electri-
cally up tospeeds of appr oximately
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 a journe y:
R The electric mo tor 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 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.
