Mercedes-Benz B 250 e 2015, Owner'S Manual

Page: 24 / 293

In situations like this, the body, the under-
body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed
for.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If, upon continuing your
journey, you notice that driving safety is
impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle imme-
diately, paying attention to road and traffic
conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified
specialist workshop.
If you make changes to electronic components,
their software or wiring, the general operating
permit for your vehicle may be rendered invalid.
Danger of electric shock
G
DANGER
The vehicle's high voltage electrical system is
under high voltage. If you modify components
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
or touch damaged components, you may be
electrocuted. The components in the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Do not touch any high-voltage components
after an accident and never modify the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system. Have the
vehicle towed away after an accident and the
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
All of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical sys-
tem components are marked with yellow warn-
ing stickers which warn you about high voltages.
The cables of the vehicle's high-voltage electri-
cal system are orange.
When towing a vehicle after an accident, be sure
to observe the following sections:
R
Transporting the vehicle (
Y
page 263)
R
Towing the vehicle with the front axle raised
(
Y
page 262)
R
Towing the vehicle with both axles on the
ground (
Y
page 262)
Read the important safety instructions on tow-
ing away (
Y
page 260).
The ignition must be switched off when carrying
out general tasks, such as changing bulbs or
checking the coolant level.
Automatic switching off of the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system
If the restraint systems are activated during an
accident, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system is automatically deactivated.
This is to ensure that you do not come into con-
tact with high voltage.
Automatic protection from switching
on of the vehicle's high-voltage electri-
cal system
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
not activated when the vehicle is started if:
R
a serious electrical insulation fault is detected
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
R
an electrical connection in the vehicle's high-
voltage electrical system is disconnected
Automatic switching off of the charging
process
The charging process is deactivated automati-
cally if:
R
the high-voltage battery is fully charged.
The charging process is interrupted automati-
cally if:
R
a serious electrical insulation fault is detected
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
R
an electrical connection in the vehicle's high-
voltage electrical system is disconnected
