Discharge protection
Battery voltage
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
window, heated seats, heated
steering wheel, etc.
The deactivated functions are
reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must
be increased. This will be achieved by
an idle boost which may be audible.
Power outlet
The power outlets are deactivated in
the event of low vehicle battery
voltage.

40 minutes after ignition is switched
off.
