11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery with the remote control key
inserted and a press the START/STOP
ENGINE button, see Starting the engine
(p. 264).
NOTE
When starting the engine in normal condi-
tions the car's electric drive motor is priori-
tised - the diesel engine remains switched off.
This means that after pressing the START/
STOP ENGINE button the electric motor has
"started" and the car is ready to drive. A
started motor is indicated by the combined
instrument panel's indicator lamps extinguish-
ing and its preset theme illuminating.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with the
battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.

car.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can
be formed if a jump lead is connected
incorrectly, and this can be enough for
the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
the eyes - seek medical attention imme-
diately.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Drive systems
This Plug-in Hybrid is a so-called parallel hybrid,
which means that it has two separate drive sys-
tems: an electric motor and a diesel engine.
Depending on the driver-selected drive mode
and available electric energy, the two drive sys-
tems can be used either individually or in paral-
lel.
Two drive systems
An advanced control system combines the prop-
erties of both drive systems in order to provide
optimum driving economy.
