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 ..,.
