GER Risk of death and re due to
modi ed and/or damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board 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, modi ed and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a re.
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 modi cations to the
#
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its
#
high-voltage on-board electrical system
components have been modi ed or dam-
aged.
Never touch damaged components of
#
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem.
A er an accident, do not touch any com-
#
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
A er an accident, have the vehicle trans-
#
ported away.
Have the components of the high-voltage
#
on-board electrical system checked at a
quali ed specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary.
The components of the 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 signi -
cantly less noise when stationary and when being
driven than vehicles with combustion engines.
When driving in electric mode, the vehicle may
not be heard by other road users due to the signif-
icantly reduced noise generated.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped
with a sound generator, which serves as an acous-
tic vehicle alerting system (AVAS).

GER Risk of fatal injury by touching
damaged high-voltage components
Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical sys-
tem contain individual high-voltage compo-
nents. 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 modi cations to compo-
#
nent parts of high-voltage components.
Never touch damaged component parts
#
of high-voltage components.
Never touch component parts of high-
#
voltage components a er an accident.
