Protecting the environment

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental

pollution caused by irresponsible dis‐ posal of the high-voltage battery

A high-voltage battery contains materials which are harmful to the environment.

Dispose of defective high-voltage bat‐ teries at a qualified specialist work‐ shop.

Operating safety

Hybrid vehicles have a combustion engine and an electric motor. The energy supply for operat‐

ing the vehicle electrically is provided by the high-voltage on-board electrical system.

DANGER Risk of fatal injury by touching damaged high-voltage components

The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system is under high voltage. If you modify component parts in the vehicle's high-volt‐ age on-board electrical system or touch dam‐ aged component parts, you may be electro‐ cuted.

The component parts in the vehicle's highvoltage on-board electrical system may be damaged in an accident, although the dam‐ age is not visible.

After an accident, do not touch any high-voltage components and never modify the vehicle's high-voltage onboard electrical system.

After an accident, have the vehicle transported away.

Have the high-voltage on-board electri‐ cal system checked at a qualified spe‐ cialist workshop.

General notes

The components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with yellow warn‐ ing stickers. The cables of the high-voltage onboard electrical system are orange.

Vehicles with an electric motor generate much less driving noise than vehicles with internal combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle may not be heard by other road users in certain situations. This can happen, for example, when you are parking and your vehicle is not seen by other road users. This requires you to adopt a particularly anticipatory driving style, as it is necessary to allow for the possibility that other road users may behave unpredictably.

Qualified specialist workshop

Always have the following work carried out on your vehicle at a qualified specialist workshop:

Work relevant to safety

Service and maintenance work

Repair work

Modifications as well as installations and conversions

Work on electronic components

Work on the hybrid system

Correct use of the vehicle

If you remove any warning stickers, you or others could fail to recognize certain dangers. Leave warning stickers in position.

When using the vehicle, observe the following information:

the safety notes in this manual

technical data for the vehicle

traffic rules and regulations

laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

Limited Warranty

NOTE Damage to the vehicle arising

from violation of these operating instruc‐ tions.

Damage to the vehicle can arise from viola‐ tion of these operating instructions.

This damage is not covered either by the Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New‑ or Used-Vehicle Warranty.

Follow the instructions in these operat‐ ing instructions on proper operation of your vehicle as well as on possible vehi‐ cle damage.

General notes

Notes on plug-in hybrid operation

WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poisoning 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 explosion from exces‐ sive internal pressure of the high-voltage battery

In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal pressure of the high-voltage battery could exceed a critical value. In this case, flamma‐ ble gas escapes through a bleed valve in the vehicle's underbody.

The gas can ignite.

Leave the danger zone immediately.

Secure the danger zone at a suitable distance, whilst observing legal require‐ ments.

The hybrid system combines a combustion engine with an electric motor.

Characteristics when the vehicle is at a stand‐ still:

the combustion engine is generally switched off.

engine idling only occurs in certain instan‐ ces.

Characteristics when starting the vehicle:

if the high-voltage battery is sufficiently charged, the vehicle can be started with the electric drive without the combustion engine (noiseless start).

if the high-voltage battery is not sufficiently charged or the operating temperature of the combustion engine has not been reached, the vehicle can start with the combustion engine.

Characteristics with moderate power output requirements:

the combustion engine is switched off as often as possible during the journey.

the vehicle can be accelerated electrically up to speeds of approximately 87 mph (140 km/h).

Characteristics with high power output require‐ ments:

the electric motor supports the combustion engine (boost effect), e.g. when pulling away or accelerating.

the high-voltage battery is discharging.

Characteristics when releasing the accelerator pedal during the journey:

the electric motor is operated as a alternator when in overrun mode and during braking.

the high-voltage battery is charging.

Notes on electric driving:

vehicles with hybrid systems generate signifi‐ cantly less noise than vehicles with combus‐ tion engines.

when driving in electric mode the vehicle may not be heard by other road users due to the significantly less noise generated.

depending on the vehicle's equipment and national legislation, the vehicle may be equipped with Acoustic Vehicle Indication.

Information on Acoustic Vehicle Indication:

Acoustic Vehicle Indication generates a cer‐ tain sound at a speed between 0 and 19 mph (30 km/h).

this helps other road users, particularly pedestrians and bike riders, to hear your vehicle better.

above this speed, natural vehicle noise is suf‐ ficient for the vehicle to be heard in good time by other road users.

the sound can also be heard in the vehicle interior.

the volume depends on the engine speed, the speed and the accelerator pedal position.

Acoustic Vehicle Indication switches off at a speed of over 19 mph (30 km/h) because the natural vehicle noise is sufficient.

Switching off the hybrid system manually

DANGER Risk of fatal injury by touching damaged high-voltage components

The component parts in the vehicle's highvoltage on-board electrical system may be damaged in an accident, although the dam‐ age is not visible.

After an accident, do not touch any high-voltage components and never modify the vehicle's high-voltage onboard electrical system.

After an accident, have the vehicle transported away.

Have the high-voltage on-board electri‐ cal system checked at a qualified spe‐ cialist workshop.

General notes

Only deactivate the hybrid system manually in the following situations:

The 6 restraint system warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster, e.g. after an accident.

The vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an accident, and the restraint system compo‐ nents were not activated.

General notes

Using the high-voltage disconnect device

Switch the ignition off.

Switch the transmission to position j.

Apply the electric parking brake.

Secure the vehicle against rolling away (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Open the trunk lid.

Lift the trunk floor upwards.

Remove the right-hand trim in the trunk.

Press release clip 1 in the direction of the arrow and pull it out.

Pull high-voltage disconnect device 2 in the direction of the arrow until it engages. The hybrid system is disconnected.

All work on the hybrid system (including after switching off manually) may only be carried out by a qualified specialist workshop.

Occupant safety

Restraint system

Malfunctioning restraint system

A malfunction has occurred in the restraint sys‐ tem if:

The 6 restraint system warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is switched on.

The 6 restraint system warning lamp lights up continuously or repeatedly during a journey.

If the restraint system is malfunctioning, in the event of an accident the high-voltage on-board electrical system may not be deactivated as intended.

DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to the restraint system malfunctioning

If the restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint system components may be trig‐ gered unintentionally or may not deploy as intended during an accident. This may affect the Emergency Tensioning Device or airbag,

for example. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, the high-voltage on-board electrical system may not be deactivated as intended.

You may be electrocuted if you touch the damaged component parts of the high-volt‐ age on-board electrical system.

Have the restraint system checked and repaired immediately at a qualified spe‐ cialist workshop.

After an accident, switch off the ignition immediately.
