General notes
82
Never touch damaged components of
#
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem.
After an accident, do not touch any com-
#
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
After an accident, have the vehicle trans-
#
ported away.
Have the components of the high-voltage
#
on-board electrical system checked at a
qualified 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.
Example
High-voltage components which can become very
hot are marked with a separate warning sticker:
F118 0058 02
vehicles with hybrid systems generate significantly
less noise 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). This protective
device is prescribed by law.
The exterior noise of the sound generator (AVAS)
is perceptible at low speeds in the vehicle interior
and is not a malfunction.
Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system
& DANGER 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.
