1.2 MAIN SWITCH
If the vehicle is equipped with a main switch, it is
either mechanically or electronically operated,
depending on the vehicle version.
The switch can be used to interrupt the power
supply from the batteries to the vehicle (except
for the tachograph).
Electronic main switch
The electronic main switch does not switch off at
once when it is operated; this happens with a 10second delay. This is to allow the after-running of
various electrical systems on the vehicle.
The electronic main switch (usually located close
to the battery pack).
If the vehicle is equipped with an electronic main
switch, there is also a switch on the centre
console in the cabin.
