When parking on a slope, turn the
front wheels towards the kerb.
To release the parking brake, pull

release button and fully lower the

Charging
The high voltage battery stores the
energy needed to operate the electric
motor and the vehicle's electrical
cabin components. It will be
discharged during use and must
therefore be regularly charged. There
is no need to wait for the high voltage
battery to fall to its reserve level
before recharging.
The driving range can vary depending
on the use of the electrical cabin
components, the driving style, the
route, and the age of its components.
The charging performance depends
on the temperature of the high voltage
battery.
When the temperature of the high
voltage battery is above 5 °C, the
charging process takes up to
3.5 hours.
