Standby state
All electronic systems/power consumers are
ready for operation. Odometer and trip odometer
are displayed in the instrument cluster.
To preserve the battery, use standby state and
activated power features only as long as abso‐
lutely necessary.
Turning on standby state
Pressing the Start/Stop button switches standby
state on or off.
Standby state is switched off automatically:
▷ When locking the vehicle, even if the low
beams are switched on.
▷ 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 batteries' state of charge is low, if
the low beams are switched off.
▷ The low beams switch to parking lights after
approx. 15 minutes of no use.
▷ When the front doors are opened if there is
no other person sitting in the front seats.
Drive-ready state
Activated drive-ready state is the equivalent of a
running engine in conventional vehicles. Deacti‐
vated drive-ready state is equivalent to switching
the ignition off.
If drive-ready state is switched on, the vehicle
ready to drive and the READY signal, refer to
page 101, is displayed in the instrument cluster.
All vehicle systems are ready for operation.
Most of the indicator/warning lights in the instru‐
ment 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 automati‐
cally if the driver's safety belt is not buckled
when the driver's door is opened.
