manner. Contact a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for this purpose.
Operator's Manual
Vehicle equipment
This Supplement provides information on all the
important functions of your hybrid vehicle that
are either not described or differ from the
descriptions in the vehicle's Operator's Manual.
The information supplements or substitutes the
corresponding sections in the vehicle's Operator's Manual. Under no circumstances does the
supplement replace the Operator's Manual.
This Supplement describes all models, and
standard and optional equipment for your system, as available at the time of going to print.
Country-specific differences are possible. Bear
in mind that your vehicle may not feature all
functions described here. This also applies to
safety-relevant systems and functions. The
equipment in your vehicle may therefore differ
from that shown in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documentation
for your vehicle contains a list of all the systems
in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The Operator's Manual and Maintenance Booklet are important documents and should be kept
in the vehicle.
Operating safety
Important safety notes
Hybrid vehicles have a combustion engine and
an electric motor. The voltage supply foroper-
ating the vehicle electrically is provided by the
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system on the
hybrid drive system.
DANGER
G
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 vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Following an accident, do not touch any highvoltage components and never modify the
vehicle'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.
All components of the hybrid drive 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 color.
Always have all work on the hybrid drive system
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is a qualified specialist workshop.
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 erratically.

Danger of electric shock
DANGER
G
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 vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Following an accident, do not touch any highvoltage components and never modify the
vehicle'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 in the vehicle
Operator's Manual:
R
Transporting the vehicle
R
Towing the vehicle with the rear axle raised
R
Towing a vehicle with both axles on the
ground
Read the safety instructions on towing and towstarting (
Y page 53).
All components of the hybrid drive 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 color.
The ignition must be switched off when carrying
out general tasks, such as changing bulbs or
checking the coolant level.
Automatic switching off of the hybrid
drive system
If components of the restraint system are activated during an accident, the hybrid drive system is automatically deactivated.
The hybrid drive system is not activated when
the vehicle is started if:
R
an electrical short circuit is detected in the
hybrid drive system
R
an electrical connection in the hybrid drive
system is disconnected
This ensures that you do not come into contact
with high voltage.
Manual switching off of the hybrid drive
system
The hybrid drive system can be deactivated
manually using the high voltage switch-off
device.
To prevent damage to the hybrid drive sys-
!
tem please observe the following instructions:
R
only deactivate the hybrid drive system
manually in the following situations.
R
work on the hybrid drive system may only
be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop, even when it has been deactivated
manually.
Deactivate the hybrid system manually if:
R
the 6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up after an accident
R
the vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an
accident, and the restraint system components were not activated
R
the vehicle is badly damaged and has to be
towed or transported

Get assistance from others if necessary.
The vehicle is locked automatically when the
ignition is switched on and the wheels are turning. There is therefore a risk of being locked out
if the vehicle is being pushed or tested on a
dynamometer.

Switch the ignition off.
X
Shift the automatic transmission to park position P.
Apply the electric parking brake.
Safeguard the vehicle against rolling away

If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damaged, electrolyte and gases may

Safety
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be triggered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident. This can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. Furthermore, in the
event of an accident, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may not be deactivated
as intended. You may be electrocuted if you
touch the damaged components of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in a qualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible. After an accident, switch off
the ignition immediately and remove the key
from the ignition lock.
A malfunction has occurred if the 6 restraint
system warning lamp:
R
does not light up after the ignition is switched
on
R
does not go out after a few seconds while the
combustion engine or hybrid system is running
R
lights up again while the combustion engine
or hybrid system is running
Overview of climate control systems
Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the notes and the recommended settings in the vehicle Operator's Manual. The windows
could otherwise fog up.
Climate control regulates the temperature and air humidity in the vehicle interior. Due to the electrical refrigerant compressor, the "Cooling with dehumidification" function is also operational without the combustion engine running. Optimum climate control is only achieved with the side windows
and roof closed.
The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off
Y page 17).
(
The "Pre-entry climate control" function is available. Use this function to briefly preheat or ventilate
the driver's seat area or the entire vehicle interior before entering the vehicle. The air from the air
vents can also be pre-cooled.
