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.
G WARNING
When the vehicle is stationary and the green
READY indicator in the instrument cluster is
lit, this means that the engine has been
switched off automatically. All of the vehicle's
systems remain active.
If you remove your foot from the brake pedal
while in transmission position D or R, the
vehicle may pull away automatically.
There is a risk of an accident.
Exit the vehicle only if:
R
both the green and yellow READY
indicators in the instrument cluster are off
R
you have secured the vehicle to prevent it
from rolling away.
X
Apply the parking brake.
The red $ indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up.
X
Use the DIRECT SELECT lever to shift the
transmission to P.
X
Switch the ignition off.
