case, disconnect the powe r supply unit from
the electrical equipment and reconnect af­
ter approximately 10 seconds.
@ Tips
- Devices that are not shie lded or dev ices near
the rear w indow antenna can cause mal­
functions in the radio, TV area or in the vehi ­

0 co .... N ,..... N .... 0 0 :c ' Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ene r­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty. This s ignif icantly improves the starting abi lity
and increases the vehicle battery life.
The energy management system Is made up of
batt ery diagno sis , idling current management ,
and dynam ic energ y man agement.
Battery diagnosis
The batte ry diagnosis de termines the vehicle bat ­
tery charge level. The sensors determ ine the bat ­
tery voltage, the battery current, and the battery
temperature. The current charge level and the performance of the vehicle battery are deter­
mined based on th is.
Idling curr ent manag ement
The idling current management decreases the
energy used whi le parked . With the engine
switched off, it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components. Data from
the battery diagnosis is taken into account for
this .
Depending on the vehicle battery charge level,
e lectrical equipment is sw itched off one item af ­
ter the other to prevent the vehicle battery from
draining and to maintain the starting ability .
Dynamic en erg y manag ement
While driving, dynamic energy management dis­
tr ibutes the appropriate amount of energy to the
e lectrical 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 ma inta in an optimal veh icle battery charge
l evel.
(D Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the
laws of physics . Note that the charge level
and length of the vehicle battery life a re
limited .
- When the start ing ability is endangered, the
(•) indicator light turns on
9 page 21.
Intellig ent Technology
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority .
A lot of stress is placed on the veh icle 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
whe n the eng ine is not r unni ng but elect rical
equipmen t is switched on . In this case, energy is
u sed but none is generated.
In situat ions like th is, energy management w ill
active ly regulate the distrib ution of energy.
Long period s without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for severa l days or
weeks, electrical equ ipment is gradually scaled
back or sw itched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be ab le to start after long
per iods of time. Some conven ience f unctions,
s u ch as interio r lig hting or power seat adjust­
ment, may no t be av ailable under certain circum­
stances . These conven ience f unctions wi ll be
available again once you sw itch the ignition on
and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
T he veh icle ba tte ry w ill dr ain if you use Info tain­
ment functions such as listening to the radio
whi le the engine is switched off.
If the sta rting abili ty is impaired by the energy
u se, the following message will appear in the In ­
fotainment system display:
Please start the engine , otherwi se the system
will turn off shortl y.
This message indicates that the system will
switch off automatically after 3 m inutes . If you
would like to continue us ing the funct ions, you
must start the engine.
With the engine running
Although e lectr ica l energy is generated while
driv ing, the ve hicle battery can drai n. This can
happen if litt le energy is generated b ut much is
used , and the charge level of the vehicle battery
is not optimal. .,.

Na vigat ion
Along the route :
points of interest along the
route can only be se lected during active route
guidance . The point of inte rest is located direct ly
along the calculated route or in the vicinity of it.
In new city: the name of the city is entered in the
speller. Points of interest can be selected from
various categories. This function is useful for
searching for points of interest in a city inde­
pendent from the destination.
Nationwide : you can either search for the point
of interest by name or select it from various cate ­
gories. The point of interest is independent from
the vehicle position and destinat ion. For exam­

Route criteria
Au to rerouting (traff ic):
when auto rerouting is
On , the route is automatically adjusted based on
TMC traffic information. If the MM I does not cal­
culate a detour even though you have se lected
dynamic route
On and a traffic jam was reported
on the ca lculated route, then the detour the sys­
tem calculated would take more time than the
time spent wa it ing in the traff ic jam .
Alternati ve route s: when the fun ction is On , up
to three suggested routes and their criteria ap­ pear in the Infotainment d isplay in the side
menu . After chang ing to map view, the new route
that was calculated according to your cr iteria is
hi ghlighted. Yo u can select the poss ib le routing
i n the alte rnative routes by turning and press ing
the cont rol knob .
Route option s: you can se lect a Short , Fas t or
Mix ed route .
Highway /Toll road /Fe rry : select the Minimize
option you do not want the navigation system to
include highways, toll roads o r ferries when cal­
culating a ro ute.
T ime rest ricted roads : using the Minim ize func­
tion will exclude t ime restricted roads, such as
pedestrian zones, from the route ca lculation .
When
Auto i s selected , the M MI decides if the
time rest ricted roads s hou ld be included when
calculat ing the ro ute guidance based on the en ­
tr ies stored in the navigation data .
Seasonal clo sing : using the Minimize function
will exclude seasona l closings, su ch as mountai n
passes, from the route calcu lation . When
Auto is
