General notes
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
#
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
or
If driving safety is impaired while con‐
#
tinuing your journey, pull over and stop
the vehicle immediately in accordance
with the traffic conditions, and contact
a qualified specialist workshop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The
electric motor's energy supply is provided by the
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
& DANGER Risk of fatal injury by touching
damaged high-voltage components
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-volt‐
age on-board electrical system or touch dam‐
aged component parts, you may be electro‐
cuted.
The component parts in the vehicle's high-
voltage on-board electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the dam‐
age is not visible.
Never carry out changes on the high-
#
voltage on-board electrical system.
Never touch component parts in the
#
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
After an accident, do not touch any
#
high-voltage components.
After an accident, have the vehicle
#
transported away.
Have the high-voltage on-board electri‐
#
cal system checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
The components of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system are marked with yellow warn‐
ing stickers. The cables of the high-voltage on-
board electrical system are orange.
Vehicles with an electric motor generate signifi‐
cantly less vehicle noise emissions than vehicles
with combustion engines. As a result, your vehi‐
cle may not be heard by other road users in cer‐
tain situations. This can happen, for example,
when you are parking and your vehicle is not
seen by other road users. This requires you to
adopt a particularly anticipatory driving style, as
it is necessary to allow for the possibility that
other road users may behave unpredictably.
