Safety information
DANGER
The braking effect of the electric motor can
be stronger than for a vehicle with combus-
tion engine. Abrupt braking and slow-down
may confuse other road users. There is a
risk of accident. Carefully release the acceler-
ator pedal. Adjust driving style to traffic con-
ditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and
actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
When driving in electric mode, pedestrians
and other road users might pay less attention
to the vehicle due to the lack of engine noise.
There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style
to traffic conditions. Watch surrounding traffic

closely and actively intervene where appro-
priate.
Warning
Without energy recovery, the braking effect of
the electric motor is unavailable. The vehicle
could roll further than anticipated. There is a
risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic
conditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.

Deceleration
The degree of the deceleration depends on
the selector lever position, the energy recovery
setting and the driving situation.
Depending on the degree of the deceleration,
the brake lights will come on without depress-
ing the brake pedal.
Deceleration is very pronounced in selector
lever position B.
During the deceleration, energy is recovered
and the high-voltage battery is charged.
