Starting the vehicle
The vehicle starts in electric mode without the

after the power demanded by the driver
exceeds the available power that the electric
motor can currently provide.
Noiseless start operation is dependent on the
outside temperature and the operating tem-
perature of the internal combustion engine. If
not all conditions for noiseless start operation
are fulfilled, the vehicle starts with the inter-
nal combustion engine.
