components have been modified or dam-
aged.
Never touch damaged components of
#

After an accident, do not touch any com-
#

General notes
Vehicles with electric motors generate signifi-
cantly less noise when stationary and while driv-
ing than vehicles with combustion engines.
Therefore the vehicle may not be heard by other
road users due to the significantly reduced noise
when stationary and while driving.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped
with a sound generator, which serves as an acous-
tic vehicle alerting system (AVAS).
