What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the battery when driv­
ing short distances, in traffic, and at cold times
of the year . A lot of energy is used but little is
generated. It is also critical when the engine is not runn ing but elect rical equipment is switched
on. I n this case, ene rgy is used but none is gener­
ated.
In s ituations l ike this, energy management will
actively regu late the distribution of ene rgy.
Long pe riods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, e lectrical equipment is gradually scaled
back or switched off . This reduces energy use and
ensu res the veh icle w ill be able to start afte r long
pe riods of time. Some convenie nce functions,
such a s in te rior lighting or powe r seat adjust­
men t, may not be available under certa in c ircu m­
stances . These convenience functions will be
ava ilable again once you switch the ign ition on
and start the engine .
With the engine switched off
The ba tte ry will d rai n if you use Infota inment
functions s uch as listen ing to the rad io whi le the
engine is switched off .
I f t he vehi cle's ability to start may be impaired by
the energy use, a mess age will appear in the In­
fotainment system disp lay . The message indi ­
cates that the system will sw itch off automatica l­
l y soon . If you would like to continue using the
f u nctions, yo u m ust start the eng ine.
With the engine running
A lthough elec trical energy is gene ra ted wh ile
d riving, the ba ttery can drain . This can happen
when little energy is generated, and m uch is used
and the charge leve l of the battery is not optima l.
To restore the ba lance o f energy, components
that requ ire large amo unts of energy a re tempo­
rari ly sca led back or switched off. Heating sys­
tems in particu lar require a great deal of energy .
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating *
Intelligent Technology
or rear window defogger is not work ing, t hen it
has been temporarily limited o r switched off.
These systems are availab le aga in as soon as the
energy supply has been restored .
In add ition, yo u may notice tha t the idle speed
has slig htly increased. That is normal and no
ca use for concern . Due to the increased id ling
speed, the additional required energy will be generated and the battery will be charged .
Notice about data
recorded by the Event
Data Recorder and
vehicle control modules
E v ent Data R eco rder
This vehicle is eq uipped with an Event Data Re ­
corder ( EDR) . The ma in purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa­
t ions, such as an airbag deployme nt or hitt ing a
road obstacle, data that w ill ass ist in understand­
ing how a vehicle 's systems performed . T he EDR
is des igned to record data related to vehicle dy­
nam ics and safety systems for a short per io d of
t ime, typ ic all y 30 seconds or less . T he ED R in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
- How va rious systems in your vehicle were oper ­
ating;
- Whethe r or not the d rive r and passenger safety
be lts were buckled/fas tened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or bra ke pedal; a nd ,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling .
These data can help p rovide a bette r understand­
ing of the circumstances in w hich crashes and in­
juries occur . NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle on ly if a non-tr ivial crash situation occurs ;
no data are reco rded by the EDR un der no rmal
driv ing cond itions and no persona l da ta (e.g.,
name, ge nder, age, and cr ash location) are re­
corded. However, ot her parties, such as law en ­
forcement, co uld combine the EDR data with the
type of perso nally identifying data routinely ac­
quired d uring a crash investigation .
T o read d ata recorded by an EDR, special eq uip­
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the ..,.
