WARNING
Vehicles with an electric motor generate
much less driving noise than vehicles with
internal combustion engines. As a result, your
vehicle may not be heard by other road users
in certain situations, for example when
parking or when your vehicle has not been
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 erratically.

WARNING

READY indicator in the instrument cluster is
lit, this means that the engine has been
