• Setting the sound volume too high may damage your hearing. This applies
even if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
HYBRID INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
• Driving on today’s roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times.
Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
• Never use the buttons in the instrument cluster while driving.
• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause
the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious
personal injury.
• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
• Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part of
the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact with
flammable materials under the vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel,
etc.
• A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself and others.
Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning triangle to warn
oncoming traffic.
• Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside air
temperature is above freezing.
• If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about frost conditions,
remember that roads can even ice over at temperatures above +39 °F (+4
°C). Always remember: even if the “snowflake symbol” is not displayed, there
could still be black ice on the road.
• Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
KEYLESS ENTRY
• Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.
• The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside
can help prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also
prevent unwanted entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay
assistance to vehicle occupants and rescue from the outside in an accident or
other emergency.
• Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the
vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button.
This could leave people trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on
the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
• A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season.
Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage
compartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that
are much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly
reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small
children.
• Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any
person still inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.
• A door kept open with the door stop may close in strong winds or on inclines
and cause injuries.
• Always hold doors by the door handle while opening and closing.
• A door that is not closed properly may open suddenly when the vehicle is
moving and cause severe injuries.
• Stop immediately and close the door.
• Make sure that the door is safely and completely latched when closed. The
closed door must be flush with the surrounding auto body parts.
• Open or close doors only if no one is in the way.
NAVIGATION & INFOTAINMENT
• Driving recommendations and traffic signs displayed in the navigation
system may differ from the actual traffic situation.
• Traffic signs and regulations take precedence over navigation driving
recommendations and displays.
• Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and
visibility conditions.
• Inserting data media while driving can distract the driver from traffic and
lead to accidents.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
PREMIUM VIII AUDIO
• Driver distraction can cause accidents and serious personal injury. Operating
the radio navigation system while driving can distract the driver from traffic
situations.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
• Select volume settings so that acoustic signals from the outside are audible
HYBRID FUNCTIONS & MODES
• Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction and skidding, particularly on
slippery roads. This can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, which can
lead to accidents and serious injuries.
• Always adjust your driving style in accordance with the flow of traffic.
• Only use kick down or fast acceleration if permitted by visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions, and if other road users are not put at risk due to
the acceleration and the driving style.
• The high-voltage hybrid electrical system is dangerous and can cause burns,
other serious personal injuries, electrocution and death.
• Never open, service, repair, or disconnect the high-voltage hybrid battery.
• Never touch or let jewelry or other metal objects contact high-voltage cables
or the high-voltage battery and battery poles, especially if the cables, battery,
or battery poles have been damaged in a crash or in some other way.
• Always have work on the hybrid electrical system and on systems that could
be indirectly affected by it done by qualified, trained technicians, who have
the know how, experience, documentation, and tools to do the work safely.
• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause
the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious
personal injury.
• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
HYBRID INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
• Driving on today’s roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times.
Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
• Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the
Infotainment System, when using your mobile phone, or when operating the
mobile phone controls.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your
mobile phone, and the mobile phone controls only if road, traffic, and
weather conditions permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.
• If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your mobile phone, or the mobile
phone controls safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where
you can pull off the road and park the vehicle.
• Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens,
and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.
the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving or braking
maneuver, or an accident, causing injury.
• Never leave external devices in the doors, on the front windshield, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and seat
backs or between these areas and the occupants. External devices can cause
serious injury in the event of an accident, especially if the airbags inflate.
• The center armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus
cause accidents and severe injuries.
• Always keep the armrest closed while driving.
• Invisible laser beams can cause injuries if the housing of the CD player is
opened.
• Have the CD player repaired only by a specialist.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
• Incorrect tire pressures and/or under inflation can cause sudden tire failure,
loss of control, collision, serious personal injury or even death.
• When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop and
inspect the tires.
• Incorrect tire pressure and/or under inflation can cause increased tire wear
and can affect the handling of the vehicle and stopping ability.
• Incorrect tire pressures and/or under inflation can also lead to sudden tire
failure, including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss of vehicle
control.
• The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires on the
vehicle. The recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker inside
the driver door.
• Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that TPMS can do its
job.
• Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure before
driving off.
• Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting
them get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, and loss of
control.
• Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat buildup, sudden tire failure
and loss of control.
• If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely and
the vehicle will not handle well.
• If the tire is not “flat” and you do not have to change a wheel immediately,
drive carefully and at reduced speed to the nearest service station to check
the tire pressure and add air as required.
• When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS always
read and heed the information and all WARNINGS.
• When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so and inspect all tires.
• The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled to
the correct cold tire inflation pressure. Always maintain the correct cold tire
inflation pressure so that TPMS can do its job.
• Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage.
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air
pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.
• Always inflate the tires to the correct specified cold tire pressure values for
the tires installed on the vehicle; see the tire inflation pressure label on the
driver door jamb.
• The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the SET
button whenever you remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the
vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and tires are identical to
those that were removed and even if the tire pressure does not change.
• Improper use of the SET button can cause the TPMS to give false warnings
or to give no warning despite dangerously low tire pressure. Make certain the
tire inflation pressure of all tires is correct before using the SET button.
• Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle control
and serious personal injury.
• Always check and correct air pressure in all 4 tires, particularly after
changing, exchanging, or repairing tires.
• After that, always make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to the correct tire
pressure for the tires installed on the vehicle. Then push the SET button for the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) so that it can properly monitor the
pressure in the tires.
• Press and hold the SET button until the confirmation chime sounds. Hold the
SET button for at least 2 seconds, but not more than 30 seconds.
• See the tire pressure label, Tire inflation pressure and the Owner’s Literature
for recommended cold tire inflation pressure and other important information.
(e.g. the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles).
• Setting the volume too high can damage hearing. This can also extend to
short exposure of the ears to loud volumes.
• Sudden volume fluctuations may occur when the audio source is changed
or connected.
• Lower the volume before changing or connecting to an audio source.
• Connecting cables of external devices may obstruct the driver.
• Route cables so as not to interfere with the driver.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted external devices can be thrown through
the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving or braking
maneuver or an accident, causing injury.
• Never leave external devices in the doors, on the front windshield, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and seat
backs or between these areas and the occupants. External devices can cause
serious injury in the event of an accident, especially if the airbags inflate.
• The center armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus
