Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
elec trical energy distribution and optimi zes the
availability of elec trical energy for starting the
engine.
When a vehicle with a conventiona l energy sys -
tem is not d riven for a long t ime, the battery is
dra ined by equipment (for examp le the immobil-
izer) . In certain circumstances, there cou ld may
not be enough energy to start the engine.
Your vehicle is equ ipped with an intell igen t ener -
gy management system for dist ributing electrici -
ty . This significantly improves the starting ability
and increases the batte ry life.
The ene rgy m a nagement syst em Is made up of
battery diagnosis , idling current management
and dynamic energy management .
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnos is determines the ba tte ry
charge level. The sensors determine t he batte ry .,.
