Hints

! In the case of accidents in which the airbags are deployed, the high-voltage system is
deactivated. If the vehicle is connected to the charging point / socket, the charging cable
is to be disconnected.
In the case of accidents with deployed / undeployed airbags
• Place Vehicle in Park and set parking brake
• Switch off the ignition
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the 12 V battery

! The electric motor is silent!

It may not be possible to detect that the car is ready to go by the

noises it makes when in operation, as the electric motor is silent.
If the large needle in the dial on the left of the instrument cluster
(power metre) is not on „OFF“ (for example on the „READY“ position),
you have to expect that the electric motor may run or the internal
combustion engine may start automatically.

is deactivated.

In the case of accidents with deployed / undeployed airbags

• Place Vehicle in Park and set parking brake
• Switch off the ignition
• Disconnect the negative terminals of the 12 V battery

! The electric motor is silent!

It may not be possible to detect that the car is ready to go by the

noises it makes when in operation, as the electric motor is silent.
If the large needle in the dial on the left of the instrument cluster
(power metre) is not on „OFF“ (for example on the „READY position),
you have to expect that the electric motor may run or the internal
combustion engine may start automatically.
