Notes on electric mode
& 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.
#
If there is an unusual smell, smoke or
burn marks, stop the charging process
immediately.
#
Leave the danger zone immediately.
Secure the danger area at a sufficient
distance.
#
Call the fire service.
& 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 attention
straight away.
Observe the following notes on vehicle noise emis-
sions and the acoustic vehicle alerting system:
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.
This is why the vehicle is equipped with a
sound generator, which serves as an acoustic
vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This safety sys-
tem is prescribed by law.
The external noise produced by the sound gen-
erator can be heard in the vehicle interior at
low speeds and does not constitute a malfunc-
tion.
The sound generator will generate speed-
R
dependent vehicle noise emissions when the
vehicle is driving forwards or reversing at a
speed of up to around 20 mph (30 km/h).
This will help other road users, particularly
pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle
better.
From a speed of 12 mph (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.
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
component parts, you may be electrocuted.
In addition, modified and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a fire.
In the event of an accident or impact to the
underbody, components of the high-voltage
electrical system may be damaged although
the damage is not visible.
#
Never make any modifications to the
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
#
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its
high-voltage on-board electrical system
components have been modified or dam-
aged.
#
Never touch damaged components of the
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
#
After an accident, do not touch any
components of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
# After an accident, have the vehicle trans-
ported away.
# Have the components of the high-volt-
age on-board electrical system checked
at a qualified specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary.
Requirements:
The 6 restraint system warning lamp lights
R
up in the instrument cluster, e.g. after an acci-
dent.
The vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an
R
accident, and the restraint system components
have not been triggered.
