Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos-
sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-

Hybrid vehicles
General notes
Hybrid technology combines a fuel-efficient
internal combustion engine with a powerful
electric motor.
Important safety notes
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.
When towing a vehicle after an accident, be
sure to observe the following sections:
R
Transporting the vehicle (
Y
page 423)
R
Towing the vehicle with the rear axle raised
(
Y
page 422)
R
Towing the vehicle with both axles on the
ground (
Y
page 422)
Read the safety instructions on towing and
tow-starting (
Y
page 420).
All components of the hybrid system are
marked with yellow warning stickers that
warn you of the danger of high voltage. The
cables of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system are orange in colour.
The ignition must be switched off when car-
rying out general tasks, such as changing
bulbs or checking the coolant level.
Automatic deactivation of the hybrid
system
G DANGER
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or might not be trig-
gered at all in the event of an accident with a
high rate of vehicle deceleration. This can
effect belt tensioners or airbags, for example.
In addition, the vehicle's high-voltage electri-
cal system may not be deactivated as inten-
ded in the event of an accident. Touching
damaged components of the vehicle's high-
voltage electrical system could result in an
electric shock. There is an increased risk of
injury, possibly even fatal.
