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 vehicle battery
will gradually lose its charge because certain
electrical equipment (such as the immobiliser)
continues 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 vehicle battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re-
118 sidual
current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis­
ters the condition of the vehicle battery. Sensors
detect the battery voltage, battery current and
battery temperature. This enables the system to
calculate the current power level and charge con­
dition of the vehicle battery.
Residu al 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 vehicle bat­
tery, the individual electrical components are
switched off one after the other to prevent the
vehicle battery from losing too much charge and
to ensure that the engine can be started reliably.
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being
generated, and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
.
1 Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp ri'.J ¢ page 15 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Points to remember
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicle battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is

CX) -
Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator anti­
freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off -risk of injury!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.
- Never remove the engine cover panel -risk
of burns!
- If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from the rotating parts, such as the drive
belts, alternator and radiator fan, etc., and
from the high-voltage ignition system.
- Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Never
open the throttle inadvertently (for instance
by hand from the engine compartment) if a
gear is engaged while the vehicle is station­
ary with the engine running. The vehicle will
otherwise start moving immediately and
could cause an accident.
- Observe the following additional warnings if
work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Do not smoke.
- Never work near naked flames.
- Always keep an approved fire extinguisher
immediately available.
- Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicle entails a risk of injury
and chemical burns in addition to danger of
accident or fire. For this reason, you must
have the work carried out by a qualified
workshop.
CD CAUTION
When topping up fluids make sure the correct
fluid is put into the correct filler opening. This Checking
and topping up fluids
can otherwise cause serious malfunctions or
engine damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
Inspect the ground underneath your vehicle
regularly so that any leaks are detected at an
early stage. If you find spots of oil or other
fluids, have your vehicle inspected in the
workshop.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking
and topping up fluids
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system
checked. If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.
A WARNING
- The cooling system is under pressure. Do
not unscrew the cap on the expansion tank
when the engine is hot: you could be scal­
ded by escaping steam.
- The coolant and coolant additive can be a
health hazard. Store the coolant additive in
the original container in a safe place out of
reach of children -risk of poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off- risk of injury!
CD CAUTION
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty. Air could have got into the cooling
system -risk of engine damage! In this case,
do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assis­
tance.

� Read off the brake fluid level on the brake fluid
reservoir ¢page 246, Fig. 214. The brake fluid
level must be between the MIN and MAX marks
¢_A.
The brake fluid level is also automatically moni­
tored.
Having brake fluid changed
Have the brake fluid changed regularly by a quali­
fied workshop.
A WARNING
- If the brake fluid level is under the MIN
mark, the effectiveness of the brakes and
therefore the safety of the vehicle may be
impaired -risk of accident! Do not drive on.
Obtain professional assistance.
- Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour
lock if old brake fluid is left in the system.
This would seriously impair the effective­
ness of the brakes and the safety of the car
- risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
- If the brake fluid level is above the MAX
mark, brake fluid may escape via the cap on
the reservoir in certain circumstances and
cause damage to the vehicle.
- Brake fluid must not be allowed to come in­
to contact with the vehicle's body, other­
wise it will attack the paintwork.

.&_ WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicle entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of acci­
dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.
CD CAUTION
If the car is left standing for Long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze <=> page 2 51.
@ For the sake of the environment
'8 Batteries contain toxic substances including
sulphuric acid and Lead. Please contact a
qualified workshop if you have any questions.
Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period <=> page 118. Certain convenience fea­
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions Checking
and topping up fluids
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated auto­
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicle is Left standing for Long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the vehi­
cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal chemical reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month
<=> page 251. Please contact a qualified workshop
if you have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle bat­
tery checked by a qualified workshop before the
start of winter.
