Mercedes-Benz GLC : Parking / Standby mode (extension of the starter battery's period out of use)

Standby mode function

This function is not available for all models.

If standby mode is activated, energy loss will be minimized during extended periods of non-operation.

Standby mode is characterized by the following:

• The starter battery is preserved.
• The maximum non-operational time appears in the media display.
• The connection to online services is interrupted.
• The ATA (anti-theft alarm system) is unavailable.
• The interior motion sensor and tow-away alarm functions are not available.
• The function for detecting collisions on a parked vehicle is not available.

If the following conditions are fulfilled, standby mode can be activated or deactivated using the multimedia system:

• The engine is switched off.
• The ignition is switched on.

Exceeding the vehicle's displayed non-operational time may cause inconvenience, i.e. it cannot be guaranteed that the starter battery will reliably start the engine.

The starter battery must be charged first in the following situations:

• The vehicle's non-operational time must be extended.
• The Battery Charge Insufficient for Standby Mode message appears in the media display.

Standby mode is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
