Notes on electric mode

WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poisoning from damaged high-voltage battery

If the housing of the high-voltage battery has been damaged, electrolyte and gases may leak out.

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or clothing.

Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes off with water and seek medical attention straight away.

DANGER Risk of explosion from excessive internal pressure of the high-voltage battery

Flammable gas may escape and ignite in the event of a vehicle fire.

Stop the charging process immediately in case of unusual odours, smoke or burn marks.

Leave the danger zone immediately. Secure the danger zone at a sufficient distance.

Call the fire brigade.

Observe the following notes on vehicle noise emissions and the acoustic vehicle alerting system:

the vehicle is equipped with a purely electric drive system and develops considerably lower vehicle noise emissions than vehicles with a combustion engine.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped with a sound generator, which serves as an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS).
the sound generator generates speed-dependent and stationary vehicle noise emissions when driving forward and backing up at a speed of up to around 30 km/h.
This helps other road users, particularly pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle better.
from a speed of 20 km/h switches off the acoustic vehicle alerting system gradually.
despite the sound generator, the vehicle still may not be heard by other road users. Adapt your driving style accordingly.
the sound generator is off when the vehicle is stationary.
