Drive-ready state
Activated drive-ready state is the equiva-
lent of a running engine in conventional ve-
hicles. Deactivated drive-ready state is
equivalent to switching the engine off.
If drive-ready state is switched on, the vehi-
cle ready to drive and the pointer in the in-
strument cluster is on READY signal, refer
to page 101 .
All vehicle systems are ready for operation.
Most of the indicator/warning lights in the
instrument cluster light up for a varied
length of time.
To save battery power when parking, switch
off drive-ready state and any unnecessary
electronic systems/power consumers.
The drive-ready state is switched off auto-
matically if the driver's safety belt is not
buckled when the driver's door is opened.
