NOTE
•
The higher the current take-off in the car
(extra cooling/heating, etc.) the more
the batteries must be charged =
increased fuel consumption.
•
When the capacity of the battery has
fallen below the lowest permissible level
then the Start/Stop function is disen-
gaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
1 Auto-start can only take place if the gear lever is in neutral position.
2 The battery is described in detail on page 230.

IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the Start/Stop function may temporar-
ily cease to work after the connection of an
external battery or battery charger:
•
The negative battery terminal on the
car's battery must never be used for
connecting an external battery or bat-
tery charger - only the car chassis may
be used as the grounding point.
See the section "Start assistance" in "Star-
ting and driving" - where there is a descrip-
tion of how the cable clamps must be fitted.
