General information
Drive-ready state turns on when the brake
pedal is pressed while pushing the Start/Stop
button.

With a stationary vehicle and drive-ready
state turned on, as soon as the selector
lever position P is exited.
Pressing the Start/Stop button again turns
drive-ready state back off and turns standby
state back on.
▷
With electric driving up to approx.
20 mph/30 km/h.
Drive-ready state cannot be turned on as long

A speaker system broadcasts the noise to the

perceive the vehicle.
