additional effort to apply the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regenerative brak-
ing effect by applying the brake yourself.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the

hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can increase.
