Notes on plug-in hybrid operation
&
WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poi-
soning from damaged high-voltage battery
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damaged, electrolyte and gases may
leak out.
#
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or
clothing.
#
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes
off with water and seek medical atten-
tion straight away.
&
DANGER Risk of fire and explosion from
excessive internal pressure of the high-
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle fire, flammable gas
can escape and ignite.
#
Stop the charging process immediately
in case of unusual odours, smoke or
burn marks.
#
Leave the danger zone immediately.
Secure the danger zone at a sufficient
distance.
#
Call the fire service.
The hybrid system combines a combustion engine
with an electric motor.
Characteristics when the vehicle is at a standstill:
R
The combustion engine is generally switched
off.
R
Idle speed occurs only in certain instances.
Characteristics when the vehicle is started:
R
If the high-voltage battery is sufficiently
charged, the vehicle can be started with the
electric drive system without the combustion
engine (noiseless start).
R
If the high-voltage battery for the electric drive
system is not sufficiently charged or the vehi-
cle conditions for a silent start are not met,
the vehicle will start with the combustion
engine.
%
Depending on the system, it may be that even
though the high-voltage battery is charged,
electric mode has restricted or no availability.
Once the combustion engine has been oper-
ated for long enough, electric mode will be
again available without restriction.
%
To start the combustion engine, the high-volt-
age battery can be used as a starter battery.
Characteristics with moderate power output
requests:
R
The combustion engine is switched off as
often as possible during the journey.
R
The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gram selected and the state of charge of the
high-voltage battery, be accelerated electri-
cally up to speeds of approximately
140 km/h.
Characteristics with high power output requests:
R
The electric motor supports the combustion
engine (boost effect), e.g. when you pull away
or accelerate.
