The vehicle battery represents a power source for the motor to start and for the supply of electrical consumers in the car.
Automatic consumer shutdown - discharge protection of the vehicle battery
The on-board power supply tries as follows to avoid draining the vehicle bat-
tery when it is heavily loaded.
▶ By increasing the engine idle speed.
▶ By limiting the power of certain consumers.
▶ By turning off some consumers (heated seats, heated rear window) for as
long as necessary.

273Inspecting and replenishing

WARNING (Continued)■If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolyte fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes with plenty of water. Seek
medical assistance if required.■
Keep the vehicle battery away from people who are not completely inde-
pendent, especially children.
■
Do not tilt the battery otherwise battery electrolyte may flow out of the
battery vent openings.
WARNINGWhen working on the car battery, there is the risk of explosion, fire, injury
or irritation! The following guidelines must be observed.■
Avoid smoking, the use of open flames or light and any activities that
could cause sparks.
■
A discharged vehicle battery can freeze slightly. Never charge up a fro-
zen or thawed vehicle battery. Replace a frozen vehicle battery.
■
Never use a damaged vehicle battery – risk of explosion!
■
Do not connect the battery terminals with each other by bridging the two
poles of a short circuit.
CAUTION
Ensure that battery acid does not come into contact with the bodywork – risk
of damage to the paintwork.
Note
■ We recommend having all work on the vehicle battery carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
You should replace batteries older than 5 years.
Check conditionFig. 324
Vehicle battery: Open the cover / acid level indicator
Read and observe
and on page 273 first.
The battery condition is checked regularly by a specialist garage as part of the
inspection service.
Check the acid level
For car batteries with acid level indicator, use the colouration of the display to
check the acid level. In vehicle batteries with the designation “AGM” there is
no acid level examination.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle battery may be provided with a cov-
er, this can be opened in the direction of arrow » Fig. 324 -
 .
Air bubbles can influence the colour of the indicator. For this reason carefully
tap on the indicator before carrying out the check » Fig. 324 -
 .
Black colour - electrolyte level is correct.
Colourless or light yellow colour - electrolyte level too low, the battery must be
replaced.
Battery discharge
Frequent short journeys will not sufficiently recharge the car battery.
The battery capacity decreases at low temperatures.
If the vehicle is not used for longer than 3 to 4 weeks, then disconnect the
negative terminal  or charge the battery constantly with a very low charging
current.
274General Maintenance
