Quiescent current measurement procedure

Before quiescent current measurement, the vehicle must be prepared to ensure good results and avoid possible interference during measurement:

• Park the vehicle in a position where quiescent current measurement can be performed without disruption.
• The battery must be adequately charged and the battery charger must not be connected. If necessary, the battery must be charged beforehand.
• Open the engine bonnet and pull up the bonnet contact switch (simulation of closed engine bonnet).
• Open the boot lid/tailgate and use a screwdriver to lock the boot lid/tailgate lock with the boot lid/tailgate open (simulation of closed boot lid/tailgate).
• Open the glove compartment (detection of consumer shutdown).
• Open the driver's door and close it again (simulates somebody getting in).
• Switch on the ignition for at least 5 seconds and then switch it off again.
• Remove the remote control or identification sensor for vehicles with Comfort Access from the insert compartment and do not leave it in the vehicle.
• Open the driver's door again and use a screwdriver to lock the driver's door lock with the door open (simulation of unoccupied vehicle).
