6.23.3 Battery disconnect relay
When you disconnect the power supply (upward = OFF, downward = ON) at the main
battery switch (76) the power supply does not switch off until 6 minutes later (provided
the ignition lock is in position 0). If you forget to switch off the main battery switch (76)
the battery disconnect relay will switch off automatically 120 hours after switching off
the ignition. In this case you have to switch the main battery switch (76) OFF/ON once
before the next time you turn on the ignition. (see page 382)

6.23.4 Battery emergency shutdown
The switch (1) for emergency shutdown of the battery is located on the front of the
central electrical system cabinet. This switch may be actuated IN CASE OF EMER-
GENCY ONLY.
In an emergency (e.g. fire in the vehicle), swivel the red flap upwards and tilt the
switch upwards. This disconnects the battery from the vehicle power supply immedi-
ately and without delay by the battery disconnection relay.
