ance display by the accelerator pedal indicator.
The accelerator pedal pointer is within the
CHARGE range.

as possible for energy recovery.
Brake according to traffic and circum‐
stances
Brake in accordance with the traffic conditions,

Discharge of the high-voltage battery
Longer idle periods, refer to page 203, can re‐
duce the charging state of the high-voltage
battery.
Do not allow the vehicle to sit idle for ex‐
tended periods with a low charging state
Before storing the vehicle for an extended pe‐
riod, check the battery charge indicator to en‐
sure that the high-voltage battery is fully
charged. During the idle period, connect the
vehicle to a charging station at a suitable
charging location. If necessary, the high-volt‐
age battery will be charged automatically.
Make sure that the charging process takes
place. Regularly check the charging state.
Don't allow battery charge status to drop too
low - it will damage the battery.◀
General driving notes
Closing the tailgate Drive with the tailgate closed
Only drive with the tailgate closed; other‐
wise, in the event of an accident or braking and
evasive maneuvers, passengers and other traf‐
fic may be injured, and the vehicle may be
damaged. Moreover, exhaust gases can get
into the vehicle interior and the lights in the
tailgate cannot be recognized.◀
If driving with the tailgate open cannot be
avoided:▷Close all windows and the glass sunroof.▷Greatly increase the air flow from the vents.▷Drive moderately.
Hot exhaust system
Hot exhaust system
High temperatures are generated in the
exhaust system.
Do not remove the heat shields installed and
never apply undercoating to them. Make sure
that flammable materials, e. g. hay, leaves,
grass, etc. do not come in contact with the hot
exhaust system while driving, while in idle po‐
sition mode, or when parked. Such contact
could lead to a fire, resulting in an increased
risk of serious personal injury as well as prop‐
erty damage.
Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise,
there is a danger of getting burned.◀
