Vehicles with an electric motor generate signif-
icantly less noise than vehicles with internal
combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle
may not be heard by other road users in certain
situations. This can happen, for example, when
you are parking and your vehicle is not 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 unpredictably.
The vehicle can be equipped with a sound gen-
erator. The sound generator is activated so that
other road users can hear your vehicle better.
The sound generator is activated at speeds
under 30 km/h and switches off automatically
at higher speeds.
Starting procedure using the Start/
Stop button
The Start/Stop button can be used to start the
vehicle manually without inserting the key into
the ignition lock. The key must be in the vehicle
and the Start/Stop button must be inserted in
the ignition lock.
