Driving instructions – Mercedes-Benz eVito
Instructions as PDF- Disconnect the charge cable from the vehicle
Open the vehicle with the Mobility Card (hold it up to the checkpoint). The charge flap is located on the driver’s side at the front under the left headlight. Behind the flap is a button with a plug symbol: this must be pressed to unlock the cable. The cable remains at the charge point (and must be hung back in the holder). Close the charge flap by applying slight pressure.
- Setting off
If you haven’t already done so, log in at the checkpoint with your Mobility Card. To start the vehicle, press the brake and turn the key in the ignition lock all the way to the right until the “READY” indicator appears.
Please note: if too much time elapses between your first log-in with the card and setting off, holdthe Mobility Card up to the checkpoint again.
When the “READY” indicator light comes on, the vehicle is ready to drive (noiseless). Otherwise, repeat the process. The hand brake may have to be released (lever is located to the left of the steering wheel).
Engage gear “D” (normal forward gear) or “R” (reverse) as required, always keeping the brake depressed.
- On the road
The motor of an electric car is virtually silent. Up to 30 km/h, however, the vehicle generates a synthetic sound to alert pedestrians.
Range according to the WLTP test cycle: 340 km
Range under normal driving behaviour: 272 kmPlease note: if the range is less than 20 km, the vehicle must be driven to a charge point immediately.
- After completing your journey
Park the vehicle forwards in the Mobility parking space – the charging socket is located under the left headlight. Engage driving position P (parking) and apply the hand brake.
Open the charge flap by applying slight pressure. The inner flap (which acts as a dust cap) must be opened by hand. Take the cable from the charging point and insert it into the vehicle. The cable is automatically locked. You’ll see a yellow LED by the socket, which means the vehicle is establishing a connection to the charging point. After approx. The LED turns green for 30 seconds and the vehicle is being charged.
