All indicator lights in the instrument cluster
go out.
To save battery power when the engine is
off, switch off the ignition and any unneces-
sary electronic systems/power consumers.
Safety measures
The ignition is switched off automatically in
the following situations while the vehicle is
stationary and the engine is off:
– When locking the vehicle, even if 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 availa-
ble when the low beams are switched
off.
– When opening or closing the driver
door, if the driver's safety belt is un-
buckled and the low beams are switched
off.
– While the driver's safety belt is unbuck-
led 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 af-
ter approx. 10 minutes of no use.
When the ignition is switched off automati-
cally by opening or closing the driver's door,
unbuckling the driver's safety belt or by the
automatic switching of the low beams to
parking lights, the radio-ready state remains
active.
Drive-ready state
When drive-ready state is activated, the ve-
hicle is operational. Activated drive-ready
state is the equivalent of a running engine
in conventional vehicles. Deactivated drive-
ready state is equivalent to switching the
engine off.
Drive-ready state in detail
Concept
The following are the different drive-ready
state variants:
– Electric drive-ready state, refer to
page 120.
The vehicle is powered by the electric
motor.
– Starting of combustion engine, refer to
page 120.
The vehicle is powered by the combus-
tion engine.
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 contain pollutants which are color-
less and odorless. In enclosed areas, ex-
haust gases can also accumulate 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 at-
tention to the vehicle due to the lack of
engine noise. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions.
Watch traffic closely and actively inter-
vene where appropriate.
