What do the urgency levels of the battery condition mean?

The urgency levels of battery service requirements indicate how urgently a battery needs to be replaced:

  • Stage 1: "Eingeschränkt" (German) or "Limited" (English)
    The battery has aged and may no longer function properly. Faults can occur with the infotainment, heating or starter motor.
    The vehicle can still be driven, but a replacement in the near future is recommended.
  • Stage 2: "Unzureichend" (German) or "Insufficient" (English)
    The battery is badly worn and must be replaced. Problems with the starter motor and electrical functions are likely.
    The vehicle can still be driven, but a replacement is urgently required.
  • Stage 3: "Schwach" (German) or "Weak" (English)
    The starter battery must be replaced as it is     old and may no longer function properly.
    You may notice malfunctions of the infotainment system, heating or problems with the starter motor in the vehicle.
