Consumer shutoff

Consumers are switched off according to different criteria and are split into the following categories:

• Convenience consumers
  • Heated rear window
  • Seat heating
  • Steering wheel heating

  The convenience consumers are automatically switched off when the engine is switched off. The convenience consumers can only be switched on again after the engine has been restarted.

• Legally prescribed auxiliary consumers
  • Parking lights
  • Hazard warning lights

  Legally prescribed auxiliary consumers must still be operational when the engine has been switched off, as long as this is possible. These auxiliary consumers are not deactivated, even if the battery's limit of starting capability has been reached.

• Auxiliary consumers
  • independent heating
  • Independent ventilation
  • Communications components
    • Displays
    • Terminal 30g
    • Telematic services

  The auxiliary consumers listed can still be switched on after the engine has been switched off. The auxiliary consumers are automatically switched off when the battery reaches its limit of starting capability. A CAN message from the DME / DDE prompts the shutdown.

• System-related run-on
  • Electric radiator fan

  System-related run-on components can remain operational for a certain time after the engine has been switched off.
