Acoustic pedestrian protection  
Depending on vehicle equipment and national-  
market version, Acoustic Pedestrian Protection  
generates a continuous driving noise in vehi-  
cles with electric or electrically assisted drives.  
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  
as the charging cable is connected or the  
charging socket cover is open.  
A speaker system broadcasts the noise to the  
environment. As a result, other road users,  
for instance pedestrians or cyclists, can better  
perceive the vehicle.
