106 Power
management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting
The power management controls the distribu­
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that
there
is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for a long time, the battery will
gradually lose its charge because certain electri­
cal equipment (such as the immobiliser) contin­
ues to draw current even when the ignition is off.
In some cases there may not be enough power
available to start the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent pow­
er management system to control the distribu­
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im­
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re­
sidual current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis­
ters the condition of the battery. Sensors detect
the battery voltage, battery current and battery
temperature. This enables the system to calcu­
late the current power level and charge condition
of the battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It con­
trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power level of the battery, the
individual electrical components are switched off
one after the other to prevent the battery from
losing too much charge and to ensure that the
engine can be started reliably.

Stowing luggage safely
Luggage compartment
Fig. 179 Heavy items should be placed as far forwards as
possible.
All luggage and other objects must be safely se­
cured in the luggage compartment. To maintain
safe handling on the road, please observe the fol­
lowing points:
� Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.
� Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the luggage compartment and secure them
properly ¢Fig. 179.
� Secure the load with the luggage net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings*¢ page 202.
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicle as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward -risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart­
ment and secure them on the fastening Safe
driving
rings*. Use suitable securing straps, particu­
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity -this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicle
¢ page 257. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight limit can affect the ve­
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in­
to the boot and close the boot lid from the
inside. In this case the child would be un­
able to get out of the vehicle without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the vehi­
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop­
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times
¢page 204.
CD CAUTION
Make sure that no hard objects chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the rear
window and damage them.
(D} Note
- Adjust the tyre pressure to match the vehi­
cle loading -the correct pressures are speci­
fied on the sticker on the end face of the
driver's door.
- Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing loads to the fas­
tening rings* are commercially available.

Em ission control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to vehicles with petrol engine: The vehi­
cle must only be used with unleaded petrol; oth­
erwise the catalytic converter will be irreparably
damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir­
ing. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which can cause overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: The die­
sel particulate filter can filter out almost all soot
particles contained in the exhaust gas. In normal
driving conditions the filter is self-cleaning.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter not
be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is con­
tinuously used only for short trips, the filter be-
220 comes
obstructed with soot and the symbol Cl
for the diesel particulate filter lights up
¢page 15.
A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehi­
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission control system (cata­
lytic converter or diesel particulate filter),
do not park the vehicle where the exhaust
can come into contact with flammable ma­
terials under the car (e.g. on grass or at the
forest edge) -risk of fire!
- Do not apply any undersea[ agents in the
area around the exhaust system -risk of
fire!
