E-Sound in the electric vehicle
b b The vehicle is moving at a speed of less than
12 mph (20 km/h).
Reduced driving noise
WARNING
with electric vehicles
Even when E-Sound is switched on in accordance
with legal requirements, an electric vehicle produces
very little driving noise, which means that other road
users might not even hear it. There is therefore a risk
of accidents, particularly in areas with traffic
calming, while maneuvering or parking.
e Be particularly alert while driving!
Electric vehicles are fitted with an E-Sound system.
The synthesized E-Sound is a legal requirement and
is designed as an audible sound to warn pedestrians
about the vehicle. The E-Sound system cannot be
switched off because it is legally required.
Drive-away performance of the electric
vehicle
The creep function allows the vehicle to drive away

Information
The vehicle moves (creeps) when the drive position
is engaged. To prevent unintentional creeping, only
release the brake when you want to drive away.
