HYBRID INFORMATION

Long-term storage of vehicles with
hybrid batteries
To minimise hybrid battery degradation during
prolonged storage (longer than 1 month) of the
vehicle a charge level of approximately 25% is
recommended as indicated on the driver display.
Proceed as follows:
1. If the state of charge is high – run the car
until approx. 25% remains. If the state of
charge is low – charge the battery until a
level of approx. 25% is reached.
2. If storage has lasted longer than 6 months or
the hybrid battery charge level is significantly
lower than 25% – charge the battery to
approx. 25% again to compensate for the
natural self-discharge that occurred during
the prolonged storage. Continuously check
the charge level in the driver display.
NOTE
Choose the coolest location possible for the
vehicle in order to minimise aging of the bat-
tery during long-term storage. During summer
the vehicle should preferably remain indoors
or outdoors in the shade, depending on
where the temperature is lowest.
