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 attention
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 emis-
sions and the acoustic vehicle alerting system:
R
The vehicle is equipped with a purely electric
drive system and develops considerably lower
vehicle noise emissions than vehicles with a
combustion engine.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped
with a sound generator, which serves as an
acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS).
R
The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent and stationary vehicle noise emissions
when driving forward and backing up at a
speed of up to around 30 km/h speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving for-
wards and reversing.
This helps other road users, particularly pedes-
trians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle better.
R
from a speed of 20 km/h the acoustic vehicle
alerting system gradually switches off.
R
despite the sound generator, the vehicle still
may not be heard by other road users. Adapt
your driving style accordingly.
R
The sound generator is off when the vehicle 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
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
vehicle 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 com-
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
#
After an accident, have the vehicle trans-
ported away.
#
Have the components of the high-voltage
on-board electrical system checked at a
qualified specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary.
Requirements:
R
The
6
restraint system warning lamp lights
up in the instrument cluster, e.g. after an acci-
dent.
R
The vehicle is badly damaged, e.g. after an
accident, and the restraint system components
have not been triggered.
R
The vehicle has not been started.
R
The vehicle is secured against rolling away.
