3.10 Protection of the Car Battery During Longer Waiting Intervals

If a vehicle is not operated for a longer period, the battery is gradually completely discharged by consuming devices (clock, tachograph, cigar lighter or radio), thus being constantly damaged.

To avoid this damage, the line bundle is disconnected ex works using a plug-in connection which is reconnected when the vehicle is to be transferred, respectively by the delivery service.

If the vehicles are parked at attachment manufacturers for a longer time (shutdown period), it is required to disconnect the plug-in connection again.
