CONCERNS
Main power supply switch (referred to below as battery disconnect switch):
- Time period between vehicle delivery and vehicle handover to the customer.
SITUATION
Handling, removing and returning the battery disconnect switch.
To protect the vehicle battery while the vehicle is being transported, as well as during the idle period at the dealer's premises until the vehicle is handed over to the customer , and to prevent damage to the battery, vehicles are delivered with a battery disconnect switch.
The battery disconnect switch automatically disconnects the vehicle battery from the vehicle electrical system as soon as the voltage falls below a specified voltage limit value for more than 10 minutes.
This Technical Information is published in identical form in Group 0 (No. 2/06) and Group 9 (No. 5/06).
CONTENTS
The Technical Information is separated into three sections as follows:
→ 1 Handling the battery disconnect switch in the time period between vehicle delivery and vehicle handover to the customer
→ 2 Removing the battery disconnect switch (48 hours before vehicle handover at the earliest)
→ 3 Returning the battery disconnect switch
1 HANDLING THE BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH IN THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN VEHICLE DELIVERY AND VEHICLE HANDOVER TO THE CUSTOMER
- Never drive on public roads with the battery disconnect switch installed.
- Test drives by the customer are not permitted - even on the Porsche dealer's premises.
- The vehicle electrical system can be switched off and on manually using an external lever.
→ Only switch off the vehicle electrical system when the engine is not running.
Handling
The vehicle electrical system can be switched on again with the lever.
Additionally, the vehicle electrical system can also be switched off manually using the lever.
Switching on vehicle electrical system
Switching on the vehicle electrical system (= closing the battery disconnect switch):
Before switching on the vehicle electrical system, always ensure that the lever for the battery disconnect switch is in position 0 (→ Fig 2).
To do this, push in the lever as far as it will go in the direction of travel (-Item 0- ).
Then pull the lever out as far as it will go against the direction of travel (-Item 1- ).
This will close the battery disconnect switch and the vehicle electrical system will be switched on.
Switching off vehicle electrical system manually
Switching off the vehicle electrical system manually (= opening the battery disconnect switch):
Push in the lever in the direction of travel (-Item 0- ). The battery disconnect switch is opened.
Information
To protect the vehicle battery when the vehicle is not in use, the vehicle electrical system must always be switched off using the battery disconnect switch until such a time as the battery disconnect switch is removed.
Information
If the vehicle battery is disconnected from the vehicle electrical system with the ignition key inserted and the vehicle electrical system is switched on again within 100 seconds, a CAN time error can be stored in the airbag control unit and the airbag warning light is activated in the instrument cluster. The error is erased by removing the ignition key.
2 REMOVING THE BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH (48 HOURS BEFORE VEHICLE HANDOVER TO CUSTOMER)
→ Remove the battery disconnect switch at least 48 hours before handing the vehicle over to the customer.
→ After the battery disconnect switch has been removed, always ensure that there is no excess battery draw from the operation of power loads (e.g. Infotainment system, seat heater, headlights, etc.) when the engine is not running.
→ Connect a suitable battery charger to the vehicle battery when power loads are used when the engine is not running, and when working on the vehicle.
Removal
When removing the battery disconnect switch, the vehicle electrical system switches off as soon as the connector for the power supply of the battery disconnect switch is removed at the positive terminal of the battery.
The battery cover must be installed after the battery disconnect switch has been removed. The battery cover is supplied in the front luggage compartment in new vehicles.
Switching off the vehicle electrical system causes fault entries in various fault memories. Adaptation and calibration values are also lost.
After removing the battery disconnect switch and reconnecting the battery, observe the work instructions after disconnecting the battery → 2706IN IN - Work instructions after disconnecting the battery.
For instructions on how to remove the battery disconnect switch, see → 966021 Removing main power supply switch.
When carrying out vehicle handover using the PIWIS Tester, the fault memories must be read out again and erased.
Information
Follow the instructions in the Technical Information for battery care and maintenance before vehicle handover → 270600 Battery: Battery care and maintenance/power supply/return delivery (No. 1/06, available soon).
Reusable Parts
The battery disconnect switch is a reusable part that must be returned to PCNA after removal.
For instructions on returning the battery disconnect switch, see → 3 Returning the battery disconnect switch.
