Operating safety

WARNING Risk of accident due to malfunctions or system failures

If you do not have the prescribed service/maintenance work or any required repairs carried out, this could result in malfunctions or system failures.

• Always have the prescribed service and maintenance work or any required repairs carried out in a qualified specialist workshop.
• WARNING Risk of accident or injury due to incorrect modifications on electronic parts

Modification of electronic components, their software or wiring could impair their function and/or the function of other networked component parts or safety-relevant systems.

This can endanger the operating safety of the vehicle.

• Never tamper with the wiring and electronic parts or their software.
• You should have all work on electrical and electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Observe the “On-board electronics” section in “Technical data”.

WARNING Risk of fire caused by flammable material on hot exhaust system components Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.

• When driving on an unpaved road or offroad, check the vehicle’s underside regularly.
• In particular, remove trapped plant parts or other flammable material.
• If there is damage, consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
• NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to driving too fast and due to impacts to the vehicle underbody or suspension components

In the following situations, in particular, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle:

• The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a high curb or an unpaved road
• The vehicle is driven too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bump or pot-hole
• A heavy object strikes the underbody or suspension components

In situations such as these, damage to the body, underbody, suspension components, wheels or tires may not be visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, may no longer absorb the resulting force as intended. If the underbody panelling is damaged, flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can collect between the underbody and the underbody panelling. These materials may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.

• Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.
• If driving safety is impaired while continuing your journey, pull over and stop the vehicle immediately, while paying attention to the road and traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Plug-in hybrid
Hybrid vehicles have an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor. The energy supply for operating the vehicle electrically is provided by the high-voltage on-board electrical system. The vehicle’s high-voltage onboard 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, modified and/or damaged components may cause a fire. 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 modifications to the high-voltage on-board electrical system.
• Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its high-voltage onboard electrical system components have been modified or damaged.
• Never touch damaged components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system.
• After an accident, do not touch any components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system.
• After an accident, have the vehicle transported away.
• Have the components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system checked at a qualified specialist workshop and replaced if necessary.

The components of the vehicle’s high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with yellow warning stickers. The cables of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are orange.

The components of the vehicle’s high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with yellow warning stickers. The cables of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are orange. Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signifi-cantly less noise when stationary‑ and when being driven than vehicles with internal-combustion engines. When you are driving in electric mode, the vehicle may not be heard by other road users due to the significantly lower noise generated when driving and when stationary. For this reason the vehicle is equipped with a sound generator, which serves as an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This protective equipment is prescribed by law. The outside sound produced by the sound genera-tor (AVAS) can be heard in the passenger com-partment at low speeds and does not represent a malfunction. Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system contain individual high-voltage components. These high-voltage components are under high voltage. If you modify component parts of these high-voltage components or touch damaged com-ponent parts, you may be electrocuted.
High voltage components may be damaged in an accident, although the damage may not be visible.

• Never perform modifications to component parts of high-voltage components.
• Never touch damaged component parts of high-voltage components.
• Never touch component parts of high-voltage components after an accident.

Vehicles with a 48 V onboard electrical system contain high-voltage components.
