Automatic load deactivation


First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 209.
The vehicle voltage control unit automatically prevents the battery from discharg-
ing when the battery is put under high levels of strain. This manifests itself by the
following.
›
The idling speed is raised to allow the generator to deliver more electricity to
the electrical system.

CAUTION
Despite such intervention by the vehicle electric system management, the vehi-
■
cle battery may be drained. For example, when the ignition is switched on a long
time with the engine turned off or the side or parking lights are turned on during
longer parking.
Consumers that are supplied via a 12-V power socket can cause the vehicle bat-
■
tery to discharge when the ignition is switched off.
Note
Driving comfort is not impaired by consumers being deactivated. The driver is of-
ten not aware of it having taken place.
