Safety measures
The ignition is switched off automatically in the
following situations while the vehicle is station‐
ary and the engine is off:
When locking the vehicle, and when the
low beams are switched on.
Shortly before the battery is discharged
completely, so that the engine can still be
started. This function is only available when
the low beams are switched off.
When opening or closing the driver door, if
the driver's safety belt is unbuckled and the
low beams are switched off.
While the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
with driver's door open and low beams off.
When the front doors are opened if there is
no other person sitting in the front seats.
The low beams switch to parking lights after
approx. 10 minutes of no use.
When the ignition is switched off automatically
by opening or closing the driver's door, un‐
buckling the driver's safety belt or by the auto‐
matic switching of the low beams to parking
lights, the radio-ready state remains active.
Drive-ready state

is operational. Activated drive-ready state is the
equivalent of a running engine in conventional
vehicles. Deactivated drive-ready state is equiv‐
alent to switching the ignition off.

Safety information
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventila‐
tion is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can
enter into the vehicle. The exhaust gases con‐
tain pollutants which are colorless and odorless.
In enclosed areas, exhaust gases can also accu‐
mulate outside of the vehicle. There is danger
to life. Keep the exhaust pipe free and ensure
sufficient ventilation.
WARNING
When driving in electric mode, pedes‐
trians and other traffic might pay less attention
to the vehicle due to the lack of engine noise.
There is a risk of an accident. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move
and possibly roll away. There is a risk of an acci‐
dent. Before exiting, secure the vehicle against
rolling.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
Set the parking brake.
On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
turn the front wheels in the direction of the
curb.
On uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with a
wheel chock.
