Battery isolating switch
Important safety notes
!
Make sure that the key is in position 0 in
the ignition lock and wait at least 20 sec-
onds before disconnecting or connecting
the battery isolating switch. You could oth-
erwise damage electrical system compo-
nents.
You can use the battery isolating switch to
disconnect the power supply to all your vehi-
cle's consumers. This will prevent uncontrol-
led battery discharge caused by off-load cur-
rent consumption.
If your vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary
battery in the engine compartment, you will
need to disconnect both batteries. Only then
is the electrical system fully disconnected
from the power supply.
i Only switch the vehicle to de-energized
using the battery main switch if:
R
the vehicle is stationary for a lengthy
period
R
it is absolutely necessary
After the power supply has been activated,
you will need to reset the side windows
(Y page 79).

When you clamp the connector under the

nector does not become damaged or dirty.

the electrical connection when the parts
are reassembled.
