Mercedes-Benz B-Class, Owner'S Manual

Page: 170 / 537

Characteristics when releasing the accelerator
pedal during the journey:
R
The electric motor is operated as a alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking.
R
The high-voltage battery is charging.
Notes on electric mode:
R
Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signi -
cantly less noise when stationary and when
being driven than vehicles with combustion
engines.
R
When driving in electric mode, the vehicle may
not be heard by other road users due to the
signi cantly reduced noise generated.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which serves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (AVAS).
R
If not all of the vehicle conditions for electric
mode are met, then the combustion engine is
switched on.
%
VVehicles wit ehicles with diesel par h diesel particulat ticulatee ltlter ers: s: During
the regeneration of the diesel particulate l-
ter, the drive programmes are not available or
are restricted and the battery charge level
may change.
Notes on the acoustic vehicle warning system:
R
The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving
forward or backing up at a speed of up to
around 30 km/h.
R
This helps other road users, particularly
pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle
better.
R
When driving at speeds above 20 km/h The
vehicle acoustic warning system gradually
switches o .
R
The sound generator is o when the vehicle is
stationary.

DDAN ANGER GER Risk of death and re due to
modi ed and/or damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage
on-board electrical system or touch damaged
component parts, you may be electrocuted. In
addition, modi ed and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a re.
In the event of an accident or impact to the
vehicle underbody, components of the high-
voltage electrical system may be damaged
although the damage is not visible.
#
Never make any modi cations to the
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
#
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its
high-voltage on-board electrical system
components have been modi ed or dam-
aged.
