WARNING
If you leave vehicle keys unattended in the vehicle, children or unauthorized people could lock the doors and/or the trunk lid, activate drive-ready mode, or switch on the ignition and thereby activate electrical equipment, such as the power windows. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

WARNING
An electric vehicle generates very little stationary, driving or operating noise. As a result, when your vehicle is being driven, other road users such as pedestrians and children may have difficulty hearing your vehicle or may not notice it at all in traffic-calmed zones and when maneuvering or reversing. This may cause accidents and serious injuries.
The electronic engine sound warns other road users of an approaching electric vehicle.
After activating the vehicle's drive system, the electronic engine sound is switched on.
When driving faster, the electronic engine sound will fade out slowly.
WARNING
The electronic engine sound may be quieter and/or more difficult to hear if there is snow around the front grille or if the area is very dirty. If the sound of the vehicle is not heard by other road users, this can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The ignition and the drive switch off automatically under certain conditions if the vehicle is exited after stopping with the drive system active and with a selector position engaged (→ Starter button) .
