STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
267
11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery with the remote control key
inserted and a press the
START/STOP
ENGINE button, see Starting the engine
(p. 264).
NOTE
When starting the engine in normal condi-
tions the car's electric drive motor is priori-
tised - the diesel engine remains switched off.
This means that after pressing the
START/
STOP ENGINE button the electric motor has
"started" and the car is ready to drive. A
started motor is indicated by the combined
instrument panel's indicator lamps extinguish-
ing and its preset theme illuminating.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with the
battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.
13. Refit the front cover for the battery in your
car.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can
be formed if a jump lead is connected
incorrectly, and this can be enough for
the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
the eyes - seek medical attention imme-
diately.

Drive systems
This Plug-in Hybrid is a so-called parallel hybrid,
which means that it has two separate drive sys-
tems: an electric motor and a diesel engine.
Depending on the driver-selected drive mode
and available electric energy, the two drive sys-
tems can be used either individually or in paral-
lel.
Two drive systems
An advanced control system combines the prop-
erties of both drive systems in order to provide
optimum driving economy.
