allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection

6 weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from
the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Ensure the ignition is
switched off before connecting or
disconnecting the vehicle battery.
Retrofitted electrical or electronic
accessories can place an additional
load on the battery or discharge the
battery. Seek the assistance of a
workshop regarding technical
possibilities, such as fitting a more
powerful battery.
