lead to temporary deactivation or
disturbance of the Stop-Start system.
When the conventional battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there are no
open ventilation holes in the vicinity of
the positive terminal. If a ventilation hole
is open in this area, it must be closed off
with a dummy cap, and the ventilation in
the vicinity of the negative terminal must
be opened.
Ensure that the battery is always
replaced by the same type of battery.
The conventional battery has to be

Charging the conventional battery
312)
WARNING After setting the ignition
device to STOP and closing the driver's
door, wait at least one minute before
disconnecting the electrical supply
from the conventional battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
conventional battery, make sure that the
ignition device is in the STOP position
and the driver's door is closed.
WARNING Charging should be slow at a
low ampere rating for approximately 24
hours. Charging for a longer time may
damage the conventional battery.
WARNING The cables of the electrical
system must be correctly reconnected to
the conventional battery, i.e. the positive
cable (+) to the positive terminal and
the negative cable (
–
) to the negative
terminal.
The conventional battery terminals
are marked with the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminal symbols, and are
shown on the cover of the battery itself.
The battery terminals must also be
corrosion-free and firmly secured to the
terminals. If a "quick-type" conventional
battery charger is used with the battery
fitted on the car, before connecting
it disconnect both cables of the
conventional battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
Discharge protection
Battery voltage
When the conventional battery voltage
is running low, a warning message will
appear in the instrument panel display.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
window, heated steering wheel, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
Idle boost
If charging of the conventional battery
is required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must be
increased. This will be achieved by an
idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the instrument
panel display.
Power outlet
The power outlets are deactivated in the
event of low conventional battery voltage.
Power saving mode
This mode deactivates electrical
consumers to avoid excessive discharging
of the conventional battery. These
consumers, such as the Infotainment
system, windscreen wipers, low beam
headlights, courtesy light, etc. can be
used for a total maximum time of about
40 minutes after ignition is switched off.
Changing into power saving mode
When power saving mode is activated, a
message appears in the instrument panel
display.
An active telephone call using the hands-
free option will be maintained for around
10 minutes longer.
Deactivating power saving mode
Power saving mode is deactivated
automatically when the engine is
restarted. Run the engine for a sufficient
charge:
for less than 10 minutes to use the
consumers for approx. 5 minutes
for more than 10 minutes to use the
consumers for up to approx. 30 minutes
