Safety information
Warning
The high-voltage battery is
heavily discharged. The drive
power will be reduced. Heating

Even at temperatures above +37 ℉/+3 ℃
there is a risk of icy roads, for instance on
bridges or shady sections of the road. There
is a risk of accident, injury, and property dam-
age. Modify your driving style to the weather
conditions at low temperatures.
In this state, the exact range can no longer be
