Controls in detail
Useful features
The vehicle is equipped with a battery
charge maintenance socket. The socket
allows for the connection of a battery
charge maintenance unit designed to
maintain the existing charge in the bat-
tery for electrical consumers while the
vehicle is parked and not being driven
for long periods of time (on average ap-
proximately three weeks or more). Not
driving the vehicle for such extended pe-
riods of time may cause the charge in the
battery for electrical consumers to drop.
The socket is located in the storage com-
partment on the left side of the trunk.
Only the battery charge maintenance
unit should be connected to this socket.
