With the engine running
Although electrical energy is generated when
the veh icle is being driven , the battery can be-
come discharged. This happens most ly when
litt le energy is being generated and a great
deal consumed and the battery's state of
charge is not optimal.
To br ing t he ene rgy balance back into equili-
brium, consumers which require especia lly
large amounts of energy are temporarily cut
back or switched off. Heating systems in par-
ticular requ ire a great deal of energy. If you
notice, for example, that the heated seats* or
the heated rear window are not heating, they
have been temporar ily cut back or switched
off. These systems will be available again as
soon as the energy balance has bee n restored.
You will also notice that engine idle speed has
been increased slightly . This is normal and not
a cause for concern. By increasing engine idle
speed the add itional ene rgy required is gener-
ated and t he batt ery is charged.
