Notes on electric mode
& WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poi-
soning from damaged high-voltage battery
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damaged, electrolyte and gases may
leak out.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or
#
clothing.
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes
#
off with water and seek medical atten-
tion straight away.
& DANGER Risk of fire and explosion from
excessive internal pressure of the high-
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle fire, flammable gas
can escape and ignite.
Stop the charging process immediately
#
in case of unusual odours, smoke or
burn marks.
Leave the danger zone immediately.
#
Secure the danger zone at a sufficient
distance.
Call the fire service.

Observe the following notes on vehicle noise
emissions and the acoustic vehicle alerting sys-
tem:
The vehicle is equipped with an all-electric
R
drive system and produces considerably lower
vehicle noise emissions than a vehicle with a
combustion engine.
For this reason the vehicle is equipped with a
sound generator, which serves as an acoustic
vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This safety
device is prescribed by law.
The external noise of the sound generator is
perceptible in the vehicle interior at low
speeds and does not represent a malfunction.
The sound generator generates a stationary
R
noise and speed-dependent vehicle noise
emissions at a speed of up to around 30 km/h
when the vehicle is driving both forwards and
in reverse.

This helps other road users, particularly
pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle
better.
When you drive at speeds above 20 km/h the
R
acoustic vehicle alerting system will gradually
switch off.
Despite the sound generator, the vehicle still
R
may not be heard by other road users. Adapt
your driving style accordingly.
The sound generator will be off when the vehi-
R
cle is stationary.
Manually disconnecting the high-voltage on-board
electrical system
& DANGER Risk of death and fire due to
modified and/or damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage
on-board electrical system or touch damaged
