Notes on the battery main switch
NOTE Damage to the electrical system

If you remove or disconnect the battery main switch, it could lead to the electrical system becoming damaged.

Make sure that the ignition is switched off and that at least 15 minutes have passed before removing or reconnecting the battery main switch. Otherwise, electrical system components could be damaged.

You can use the battery main switch to disconnect the current to all your vehicle's consumers. This will prevent uncontrolled battery discharge caused by quiescent current consumers.

If your vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary battery in the engine compartment or in the base of the co-driver's seat, you must disconnect both batteries. Only then is the electrical system fully disconnected from the power supply.

Only disconnect the vehicle from the power supply using the battery main switch in the following situations:

  • the vehicle is stationary for a long time

  • it is absolutely necessary to disconnect the vehicle from the power supply

After switching on the power supply, you will need to reset the side windows More and the electric sliding door More.

A break in the power supply is entered in the DTCO (digital tachograph) as an event in the fault memory.

See the separate DTCO operating instructions.
