WARNING Risk of chemical burns and
poisoning 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 atten‐
tion straight away.
&
DANGER Risk of explosion from exces‐
sive internal pressure of the high-voltage
battery
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal
pressure of the high-voltage battery could
exceed a critical value. In this case, flamma‐
ble gas escapes through a bleed valve in the
vehicle's underbody.
The gas can 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
emissions and the acoustic vehicle warning sys‐
tem:
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 equip‐
ped with a sound generator, which serves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (AVAS).
R
the sound generator generates speed-
dependent vehicle noise emissions when
driving forward and backing up at a speed of
up to around 30 km/h.
this helps other road users, particularly
pedestrians and bike riders, to hear your
vehicle better.
R
the vehicle acoustic warning system gradu‐
ally switches off when driving at speeds
above 20 km/h.
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.
Manual disconnection of the high-voltage on-
board electrical system
&
DANGER Risk of fatal injury by touching
damaged high-voltage components
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-volt‐
age on-board electrical system or touch dam‐
aged component parts, you may be electro‐
cuted.
