808012721BH
High-voltage system
battery (also called a hybrid battery/traction bat-
tery) and supports the combustion engine in cer-
tain situations. The usage considerably influences
the service life of the high-voltage battery. Read
and observe the following information on correct
handling:
> Balance out the amount of time that the elec-
tric and conventional drive systems are used. If
only the electric drive system is used for long
periods of driving, then the high-voltage bat-
tery will wear more quickly.
» Avoid quickly discharging the high-voltage bat-
tery by repeatedly accelerating abruptly when
driving in full-electric mode or during boosting.
» You must not use your vehicle to jump start an-
other vehicle. This could cause significant dam-
age to the electrical system in your vehicle.
