CAUTION
Despite such intervention by the vehicle electric system management, the
■
vehicle 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
■
battery to discharge when the ignition is switched off.
Note
Driving comfort is not impaired by consumers being deactivated. The driver is
often not aware of it having taken place.
