stronger than for a vehicle with combustion en‐
gine. Abrupt braking and slow-down may con‐
fuse other traffic. There is a risk of an accident.
Carefully release the accelerator pedal. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where appropri‐
ate.

other traffic might pay less attention to the ve‐
hicle due to the lack of engine noise. There is a
risk of an accident. Adjust driving style to traffic
conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively in‐
tervene where appropriate.
