Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution
and optimizes the
availability
of electrical energy for starting the
engine.
When a vehicle with a conventional energy sys-
tem is not driven for a long ti me, the battery is
drained by equipment (for examp le the immobil -
izer). In
certa in circ um stances, there could may
not be enough energy to sta rt the eng in e.
Your vehicle
is equipped with an int e lligent ener -
gy
management system for distributing electrici-
ty. This significant
ly improves the starting ability
and increases the battery life.
The
energy management system Is made up of
battery diagno sis , Idling current management
and dynamic energy management .
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis determines the battery
charge level. The sensors determine the battery Ill>
