This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with

tions or country versions. This also applies

Working on the vehicle
General information
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that no changes be made to the vehi-
cle, for instance the retrofitting of accesso-
ries, that will have an effect on the vehicle’s
hybrid system.
Safety information
DANGER
Improperly performed work, in particular
maintenance and repair on the high-volt-
age system, can lead to electric shock.
There is a risk of injury, fire and danger to
life.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-
mends that the work on the vehicle, in par-
ticular maintenance and repair, be per-
formed by a dealer’s service center or
another qualified service center or repair
shop.
Contact with water
The hybrid system is typically safe even in
the following example situations:
– Water in the floor area, for instance af-
ter a rainstorm when the window was
kept open.
– Vehicle is in water but only up to the al-
lowed height.
– Fluid escapes in the cargo area.
Automatic deactivation
If an accident occurs, the hybrid system is
switched off automatically to prevent risk of
danger to occupants and other road users.
Read the information on What to do after
an accident, refer to page 307.
