Acoustic presence indicator
Useful information
Vehicles with an electric motor generate
much less driving noise than vehicles with
internal combustion engines. As a result,
the vehicle may not be heard by other road
users in certain situations.
In order to allow your vehicle to be heard
when it is moving at slow speeds, a sound
generator installed in the vehicle produces
a specific noise at speeds between 0 and
30 km/h. This function is called the acoustic
presence indicator. This helps other road
users, particularly pedestrians and
cyclists, to hear your vehicle better. The
acoustic presence indicator can also be
heard in the vehicle interior.
The volume of the acoustic presence indi-
cator depends on the engine speed. The
faster you accelerate, the louder the sound
is. At speeds of over 30 km/h, the sound is
switched off. Above this speed, the driving
noise naturally created by the vehicle is
typically sufficient for the vehicle to be
heard in good time by other road users.
Deactivating/activating the acoustic
presence indicator
The acoustic presence indicator is automat-
ically activated each time the ignition is
started.

Press the
switch.
If the acoustic presence indicator is
deactivated, the LED on the
switch
lights up.
Radar-based recuperation
Only for instrument cluster with colour dis-
play:
The "Radar-based recuperation" function
adapts the vehicle's rate of recuperation to
current traffic conditions. It activates itself
automatically as soon as the accelerator
pedal is released. There are five levels up to
the maximum value for optimum recupera-
tion and distance to the vehicle ahead. The
