Intelligent Technology
greater than the amount being generated in or
der to maintain an optimal vehicle battery charge
level.
(D Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the laws of physics. Note that the charge level
and length of the vehicle battery life are
limited.
- When the starting ability is jeopardized, the
(•j indicator light turns on¢ page 13.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the vehicle battery
when driving short distances, during city driving,
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 running but electrical
equipment is switched on. In this case, energy is used but none is generated .
In situations like this, energy management will
actively regulate the distribution of energy.
Long periods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical equipment is gradually scaled
back or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods of time. Some convenience functions
such as opening with the remote control key may not be available . These convenience functions
will be available again once you switch the igni tion on and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
The vehicle battery will drain if you use Infotain ment functions such as listening to the radio
while the engine is switched off .
If the vehicle's ability to start may be impaired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In
fotainment system display. The message indi cates that the system will switch off automatically soon .
If you would like to continue using the
functions, you must start the engine.
94
With the engine running
Although e lectrical energy is generated while
driving , the vehicle battery can drain . This can
happen if little energy is generated but much is
used, and the charge level of the vehicle battery
is not optimal.
To restore the balance of energy , components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo
rarily scaled back or switched off. Heating sys
tems in particular require a great deal of energy.
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear window defroster is not working, then it has been temporarily reduced or switched off .
These systems are available again as soon as the energy supply has been restored.
In addition, you may notice that the idle speed
has slightly increased . That is normal and no
cause for concern . By increasing the idling speed ,
the additional required energy will be generated
and the vehicle battery will be charged.
Information about data
recorded by vehicle
control modules
Your vehicle is not equipped with a crash data re
corder . This device is installed by some vehicle
manufacturers to record data about crashes so
that it can be analyzed later. Crash data record
ers are also called "Event Data Recorders (EDR)".
In some legal jurisdictions, it is not permitted to
access or download data recorded by pre-instal
led crash data recorders in order to evaluate a
crash without clear consent of the vehicle owner.
Your vehicle is not equipped with a crash data re
corder. However it does contain a variety of elec
tronic control modules for various vehicle sys
tems such as engine function, exhaust treatment
or airbags and safety belts.
These electronic control modules record vehicle
data during normal driving for diagnosis and re
pair purposes. The recording capability of the
electronic control modules is limited to data only
- no sound is recorded. If the control module de
tects a system malfunction or other change in
status, a very limited amount of data is recorded .,,.
