Driving readiness is activated if there is a valid ID transmitter in the vehicle interior, and the brake pedal and START/STOP button are pressed simultaneously. Driving readiness can be activated from any terminal status (terminal 30F terminal 30B and terminal 15). Driving readiness is indicated to the driver by the needle of the eDRIVE display. Here the needle is at "READY".

With the status "Driving readiness" the vehicle can be driven off using the electrical drive or a combustion engine depending on the torque requirement. In comparison to the conventional vehicle with a single powertrain by the combustion engine, the driving readiness in a hybrid car cannot be recognized at the running combustion engine. The prerequisites for non-start of the combustion engine, the so-called "silent start", are a sufficiently charged high-voltage battery unit and activated hybrid or electric mode.

Driving readiness is deactivated by pressing the START/STOP button when the vehicle is stationary.

The drive position "P" is automatically engaged in the process. The car wash function is an exception to this: If the driver engages the drive position "N" when the driving readiness is switched on and then presses the START/STOP button, the drive position "N" remains engaged and terminal 15 remains switched on.
