Notes on electric mode
& WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poi-
soning 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 atten-
tion straight away.
& DANGER Risk of fire and explosion from
excessive internal pressure of the high-
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle fire, flammable gas
can escape and ignite.
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 service.
#
Observe the following notes on vehicle noise
emissions and the acoustic vehicle warning sys-
tem:
The vehicle is equipped with a purely electric
R
drive system and develops considerably lower
vehicle noise emissions than vehicles with a
combustion engine.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which serves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (AVAS).
The sound generator generates speed-depend-
R
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving
forward or 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.
ohne
When driving at speeds above 20 km/h The
R
vehicle acoustic warning system gradually
switches off.
Despite the sound generator, the vehicle still
R
may not be heard by other road users. Adapt
your driving style accordingly.
The sound generator is off when the vehicle is
R
stationary.
Manual disconnection of the high-voltage on-
board electrical system
& DANGER Risk of death and fire due to
modified 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, modified and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a fire.
