Intelligent Technology
Idling current management
The idling c urrent management dec reases the
energy used w hile pa rked. With the engine
sw itched off, it manages the energy distribution
to the different elect rical components . Data from
the battery diagnosis is taken into account for
this .
Depending on the vehicle battery charge level,
e lectrical equipment is switched off one item af­
ter the other to prevent the vehicle battery from
draining and to maintain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy manag em ent
W hil e driving, dynamic energy management dis ­
tr ibutes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment. It controls the battery
charge level so that the amount of energy is not
greater than the amount being generated in or­
der to mai nta in a n optimal vehicle battery charge
level.
(D Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the
l aws of phys ics . Note that the charge leve l
and leng th of the vehicle battery life a re
li mi ted .
- When the starting ability is endanger ed, the
(•) ind icator light turns on~ page 30.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the vehicle battery
when dr iv ing short d istances, dur ing c ity dr iv ing,
and at cold times of the year . A lot of energy is
used but little is gene rated . It is a lso cri tical
wh en the engine is not runn ing but e lectr ica l
e qui pment is swi tc h ed o n. In this case, energy is
u sed bu t none is ge nera te d.
In s ituatio ns l ike this, energy management will
actively regu late the d ist ribu tion of ene rgy.
Long pe riods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrica l equipment is gradually scaled
back or swi tched off . This reduces energy use and
152 ensures
the vehicle will be ab le to s tart a fter long
periods of time. Some conven ience f unctions,
such as interior lig hting or power seat ad just ­
ment, may not be avai lab le under ce rtain circum­
stances. These conven ience functions will be
available again once you switch the ignit ion on
and sta rt the eng ine.
With the engine switched off
The vehicle battery will drain if you use Infotain ­
ment functions such as listening to the radio
whi le the engine is switched off.
If the vehicle's ability to start may be impaired by
the energy use, a message will appear i n the In­
fota inment system display. The message indi­
cates that the system will switc h off automatical­
l y soon. If yo u wou ld like to continue using the
funct io ns, you must s tart the engine .
With the engine running
Although electr ica l energy is generated w hile
driv ing, the veh icle battery can d ra in. This can
happe n if litt le ene rgy is generated but much is
used, and the charge level of the vehicle battery
is not optimal.
To resto re t he ba lance of energy, components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo­ rarily scaled back or sw itched off. Heat ing sys ­
te ms in pa rticula r r equir e a great deal of e nergy .
I f you notice, fo r example, t hat the seat heati ng*
o r r ear window defogger is not wor king, then it
h as been tempor arily reduce d or switched off.
These sys tems are avai lab le aga in as soon as t he
energy supp ly has been restored.
I n add it ion, yo u may notice tha t the idle speed
h as slig htly incre ase d. Tha t is normal and no
ca use for concer n. By in creasing the idling spee d,
the addit io na l required energy will be gene rated
and t he vehicle battery w ill be charged.
