Charging the vehicle battery
Note
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal tempera-
ture of the vehicle battery even after several hours. If the vehicle remains outdoors for
a long time in minus temperatures or in direct sunlight, it can take several hours until
the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for
proper operation of the "START STOP" system.
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the igni-
tion key (e.g. when the seat belt is not inserted or the driver's door is opened for more
than 30 seconds). Follow the messages in the display of the instrument cluster.
If the air conditioning Climatronic* is running in automatic mode, under certain
conditions, the engine may not switch off automatically.
