Working on the hybrid system
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 executed 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 footwell, for instance after
a rainstorm when sunroof 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 311.
