vethefo llowing no tes on vehicle noise
emissions and the acoustic vehicle warning sys‐
te m:
R theve hicle is equipped with a purely electric
drive sy stem and de velops considerably
lo we rve hicle noise emissions than vehicles
with a combustion engine.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip‐
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle warning sy stem (A VAS).
R the sound generator generates speed-
dependent vehicle noise emissions when
driving forw ard or backing up at a speed of
up toaround 30 km/h. This helps
other road users, particular ly
pede strians and bike riders, tohear your
ve hicle better.
R when driving at speeds abo ve20 km/h the
ve hicle acoustic warning sy stem gradually
switches off.
R despite the sound generator, theve hicle still
may not be heard by otherroad users. Adapt
yo ur driving style according ly.
R the sound generator is off when theve hicle
is stationar y. Manual disconnection of
