BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM
(BMS)
The Intelligent Power System Management
(IPSM) continuously monitors the condition of
the main vehicle battery. If excessive battery
discharge occurs, the system will begin to shut
down non-essential electrical systems in order
to protect the battery.
If the IPSM calculates that battery condition is
not within set parameters, there are 2 levels of
action which can be taken. Both levels have an
accompanying message on the Touch screen,
and in the case of the low battery warning, in
the Message centre.
• Energy Management: Will be displayed on
the Touch screen if the engine is not
running, and system features are causing
excessive battery discharge. After 3 minutes
the IPSM will begin shutting down vehicle
systems. Normal system operation will
resume when the engine is started.
• Low Battery - Please Start Engine: Will be
displayed on the Touch screen and Message
centre if the engine is not running. After 3
minutes the IPSM will begin shutting down
vehicle systems. Normal system operation
will resume when the engine is started.
Only start the engine if it is safe to do
so.
Note: If the message Low Battery - Please Start
Engine is displayed, drive the vehicle for at least
30 minutes in temperatures above 0°C (32°F)
or at least 60 minutes if temperatures are below
0°C (32°F). This will allow the battery to recover
to an acceptable level. If normal system
operation is not resumed when the engine is
switched back off, the battery may not have
been sufficiently charged. If safe to do so,
re-start the engine. If problems still exist,
contact your Retailer/Authorised Repairer.
CONNECTING JUMP LEADS
Always wear appropriate eye protection
when working with batteries.
Do not disconnect the discharged
battery.
Do not connect a jump lead to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Always connect to the recommended
earthing point.
Make sure the bodywork of the donor
and disabled vehicles do not touch.
Make sure both batteries are of the 12
volt type and that the jump leads have
insulated clamps and are approved for
use with 12 volt batteries.
Note: Before connecting jump leads, make sure
that the battery connections on the disabled
vehicle are correct and that all electrical
equipment has been switched off.
