4MATIC ensu resth at all four wheels are driven.
To ge ther with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and tra1c conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and for st aying in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum e.ect
of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you use
winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if
necessar y. R

WARNING
ARNING Risk of /re or explosion from
fuel
Fu els are highly 0ammable. #
Fire , naked 0ames, smoking and creating
spar ksmust be avoided. #
Before refuelling, switch o. theve hicle
and, if /tted, the stationary heater and

WARNING
ARNING Risk of injury from fuels
Fu els are poisonous and hazardous toyour
health. #
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into
contact with skin, eyes or clo thing. #
Do not inhale fuel vapour. #
Keep children away from fuel. #
Keep doors and windo wsclosed during
th ere fuelling process. If
yo u or other people come into contact with
fuel, obser vethefo llowing: #
Immediate lyrinse fuel o. your skin with
soap and water. #
If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical at tention
immedia tely. #
Ifyo u swallow fuel, seek medical atten-
tion immediatel y.Do not induce vomit-
ing. #
Change immediately out of clo thing that
has come into contact with fuel. &
W WARNING
ARNING Risk of /re and explosion due
to electrostatic charge
Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapour. #
Before you open the fuel /ller cap or

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
damage the high-voltage batter y.#
Toavo id damage, please obser vethefo l-
lowing recommendations when handling

OTE
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 30% and 50%. 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 207).
R Char gethe high-voltage battery if thech arge
le ve l is below 20%.
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.
Yo u can contribute toreducing theve hicle's
ene rgy consum ption in thefo llowing ways:
R An anticipatory driving style (/ page 175)
R Reduced use of electrical consumers
R Having theve hicle regula rly main tained
