WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil- dren unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s
unsupervised access to a vehicle could
result in an accident and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle from
inside using the central locking or unlock-
ing switch. This can be useful, for example,
if you want to unlock the passenger door
from inside or lock the vehicle before
starting to drive. Opening and closing

Charge level gauge
!
Do not hang any objects on the charge
level gauge.
This could cause the charge level gauge
to be torn from its mountings and be dam-
aged.
The charge level gauge :displays charge
status of the high-voltage battery as a per-
centage.
When the High-voltage Battery at High-voltage Battery at
Reserve Level
Reserve Level message appears in the
multifunction display while the drive sys- tem is in operation, the high-voltage bat-
tery has reached the reserve level.
i If the charge level of the high-voltage
battery has dropped below 20 %, recharge it at:
R an AC power socket (Y page 114)
R a private wall box (Y page 115)
R a public charging station
(Y page 117)
Power gauge G
WARNING
The operating condition of the high-volt-
age battery (e.g. not yet at normal operat-
ing temperature or fully charged) influen- ces the braking effect of the electric
motor.
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or
may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others.
Compensate for the reduced engine braking effect by pressing the brake pedal accord-
ingly, as required.
! Do not hang any objects on the power
gauge.
This could cause the power gauge to be
torn from its mountings and be damaged. Power gauge
;contains two segments:
R Section right of 0
Power gauge ;indicates the current
power that the drive system delivers to
the rear wheels. 100 % correspond to 55 kW peak power.
R Section left of 0
When you release the accelerator pedal
or when you depress the brake pedal, the
electric motor operates as a generator.
Electric current is produced and stored
in the high-voltage battery. As long as
the high-voltage battery is being
charged, the electric motor simulates an
engine brake.
When the pointer of power gauge ;is in
the "OFF“ position, the vehicle is not ready to drive, because:
R the drive system has not been started
R the gear selector lever has not been
moved to position Nor Pwhen starting
the drive system
R the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle
R there is not enough power from the high-
voltage battery
R a problem occured in the high-voltage
system
After the drive system has been started, the pointer of power gauge ;moves to posi-
tion 0.READY
READY appears in the multifunction
display (Y page 87). The vehicle is ready
to drive. Adjusting instrument cluster illumi-

WARNING
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter system settings with the vehicle at a stand- still and operate the system only when roadand traffic conditions permit. Always pay
full attention to traffic conditions first
before operating system controls while
driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approx-
imately 14 m) every second. G
WARNING
Always select a volume that allows you to
still hear ambient sound in your immediate vicinity (e.g. horns, emergency rescue
vehicles, police vehicles, etc.). You could
otherwise cause an accident. G
WARNING
If you wish to have an audio system other
than an original smart audio system fitted
in your vehicle, please always have the nec- essary work performed at an authorized
smart center.
This is particularly important if your
vehicle is fitted with a radio preinstalla-
tion. Improper connection can result in the
failure of important vehicle functions,
thereby endangering the operating safety
of your vehicle and thus your own safety and that of other people.
The following pages contain a brief
description of the audio systems available for the coupé and cabriolet.
The devices are described with their full
complement of equipment. The description

tion applies.

Connecting the vehicle to the Internet Via mobile service module
i This function is only available if the
vehicle is equipped with a mobile ser-
vice module.
You can use the “Vehicle Homepage” when
the vehicle has connected to the Internet
via the mobile service module. The mobile
service module uses GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and transfers the
required data via radio transmission. The
vehicle automatically detects if a connec- tion to the Internet via the mobile service module is available or not. No pre-settings
need to be done.
In order to use data transfer via the mobile
service module you do not need a SIM card
and no contract.
i There may be service limitations if the
vehicle is located for example in a
underground garage. Service limita-
tions may also appear in areas with poor
mobile service coverage. In theses cases
you can launch the Internet connection
via powerline (Y page 122).
Via powerline
You can also access the “Vehicle Homepage”
if you do not have GSM reception. This is
possible for example via your DSL router.
This connection is built by the plugged in charging cable with the aid of the power-
line technology.
The vehicle supports powerline communi-
cation according to the "HomePlug AV" standard. Data is transmitted via phase L1
and the neutral conductor of the power line.
In order for the vehicle to access the Inter-net, you require a commercially available
adapter of the "HomePlug AV" standard.
This adapter must also have an encryption
button so that it can be configured to com-
municate with the vehicle. Connect the
adapter to the power supply as well as your Internet connection. If the adapter is con-
nected to different phase than L1, a phase
coupler must be additionally installed.
Only in this way can stable communication
be guaranteed. For questions, consult a
qualified electrician.
i If you already have a powerline network
installed, the vehicle can be integrated
into it.
To establish a connection between the
vehicle and a powerline adapter, carry out
the following:
X Connect the vehicle to a power socket or a
wallbox.
The right #indicator lamp on the
vehicle socket must flash green.
X Insert the powerline adapter into a
neighboring power socket. Observe that
the vehicle and the adapter are connec-
ted via phase L1.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Call up the Charge current
Charge current menu on the
control system (Y page 92).
Carry out the following steps within
30 seconds: X If the value of the charge current is not
set to 8 A:set the value to 8 A and confirm.
X Set the value of the charge current to 12 A
and confirm.
X Set the value of the charge current to 8 A
and confirm. 122
