If a vehicle is not operated for a longer period, the battery is
gradually completely discharged by consuming devices
(clock, tachograph, cigar lighter or radio), thus being
constantly damaged.
To avoid this damage, the line bundle is disconnected ex works
using a plug-in connection which is reconnected when the
vehicle is to be transferred, respectively by the delivery
service.
If the vehicles are parked at attachment manufacturers for a
longer time (shutdown period), it is required to disconnect the
plug-in connection again.
