Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain
the battery to varying degrees. Avoid using
ignition mode II when the engine is switched
off. Use ignition mode I instead, as this uses
less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain
power from the electrical system. Do not use
functions that use a lot of electrical current
when the engine is turned off. Examples of
such functions are:
blower
•
headlights
•
windshield wipers
•
audio system (especially at high volume).
•
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message
is shown in the driver display. The vehicle's
energy-saving function will then turn off or
reduce certain functions, such as the blower
and/or the audio system.
To charge the battery, start the engine and
–
let it run for at least 15 minutes (driving
charges the battery faster than letting the
engine idle).
