Press one and UK gets a new chancellor, press the other for new PM.

Battery isolator and fuel shut off?

On my passenger drive in Bad Kissingen, the motor used to self switch off upon steep descents. The driver then pressed one of the buttons (were still on the dash) and then restarted the engine. Looked like a reset.

The driver even commented: "This prototype still occasionally shuts down on steep descents".

Yes emax the one I had a test ride way back in Sep 21 cut out in steep decent the driver just pushed the button and we were off within seconds

Has anyone asked what the two emergency stop buttons actually do?

Although all other answer are great and some would be very handy at times, the ESC isolates the Stability/traction control and the other, main body electrics.

You could install something like that on your desk at the race course Steve, directly wired into the pub next door for "please begin to pour the Guinness"

Too easy!!! The Chef came over the other day asking why I hadn't ordered any food from him yet........ because I'd be the size of a house by the time our showroom is finished if I start that!

Thanks.

I'll disagree on the relative merits of most of the other answers.

I had reviewed some of the older photos and found a few with more descriptive labels:

The partially hidden "toggle switch for battery main switch" appears to have disappeared from the more recent vehicles.

I noticed some under the front seats as well. I assume they cut off things to stop the vehicle from burning to the ground. Look like the ones from Schlegal

Steve, thanks for my notebook, arrived today just in time for my trip to see one in the flesh Friday

I’ve now had the drive at Graythwaite. It was stunning. Some mud, with ruts which it traversed well. Most was on hardcore tracks but, in places, there had been major erosion due to water flow and consequent ruts, potholes and substantial boulders. All were handled very impressively. I’m even more enthusiastic about my order. Still awaiting insurance category and Road tax costs. I’ve got an old VW Golf for travel when off reading ability and carriage of large dogs are not needed in order to use less fuel fuel.

Thanks Martin, your drive review continues the positive impressions of the car - we all appreciate your feedback.

Still awaiting insurance category and Road tax costs.

Insurance costs are available from the more specialised brokers currently. Mainstream hopefully will follow soon. There is a thread here on them.

Road tax costs should have been on your order; but if you haven't ordered then they're actually quite transparent as either M1 or N1.
