IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery in a car
with the Start/Stop function, batteries of
the correct type must be installed, EFB
9
for manual gearbox and AGM
matic gearbox.
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
disengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
•
The engine starts automatically
the driver depressing the clutch pedal
(manual gearbox).
•
The engine starts automatically without
the driver lifting his/her foot off the foot
brake pedal (automatic gearbox).
