SummaryComplaint Discharge of 12 V battery in the event of a longer non-operational time - model series 232 and model series 192 Cause Increased quiescent current Remedy 1. Conduct quiescent current measurement. DO NOT USE A DVOM IN LINE - this will blow the fuse in your meter. Use an amp clamp with either a DVOM or XENTRY Scope and wait until the vehicle has gone to sleep (usually takes 6-10 minutes). Once the vehicle is asleep, observe the quiescent current for 10-15 minutes and note down the values. A stable quiescent current should be less than 50 mA. Values higher than this figure are considered not OK (NOK) and require further analysis. 2. If the quiescent current is higher (> 50 to 100 mA): • Check whether software updates are available for relevant control units: Door control units (DMD (N69/1), DMP (N69/2), DMRL (N69/3), DMRR (N69/4)), EIS (N73/3), PTCU (N127), OHCM (N70), GW (N73/3*1) • After installing the updates: measure the quiescent current again • If the quiescent current is < 50 mA, the vehicle is OK • If the quiescent current is between 50 and 100 mA, continue with step 5 • If the quiescent current is between 100 and 200 mA, continue with step 3 • If the quiescent current is between 200 mA and 1 A, continue with step 4 3. For no-load current values of 100 to 200 mA: • Lock all doors and hood so that the control unit recognizes the door status as "closed" but the doors are open. • Disconnect door separation points (A-pillar connection) when the vehicle is asleep, starting with the driver's side • Document the quiescent current value • If there is no change: Disconnect the door separation point on the front passenger side and note down the value again • If the quiescent current falls below 50 mA after the door separation point is opened, the respective outer door handle must be replaced • If the quiescent current drops below 50mA, the draw has been addressed and the vehicle can be released • If the quiescent current remains above 50mA after the relevant door handles have been successfully replaced, please create a TIPS case to the LV/HV inbox and retain the removed door handles for the time being • If the quiescent current does not change after the door separation point is opened, please carry out step 5 4. For quiescent current values between 200 mA and 1 A: • Important: Before pulling out F320 and F304, the tow-away protection and interior protection must be deactivated to prevent an alarm from triggering • Lock all doors and hood so that the control unit recognizes the door status as "closed" but the doors are open. • Wait until the vehicle has gone to sleep • Pull out the fuses one after the other, starting with F323 (PTCU CU/N127), and note down the quiescent current value • Perform the same test one at a time if the value is still high for each additional fuse: F119 (PTCU CU/N127), F324 (EIS CU/N73/3), F305 (EIS CU/N73/3), F320 (OCP CU/N70), F304 (OCP CU/N70) • If pulling out the fuse reduces the quiescent current to below 50 mA, replace the corresponding control unit. After replacing, please measure and assess the quiescent current again • Please create a TIPS case for information purposes • If the quiescent current remains unchanged after the fuses listed above are pulled out, please carry out step 5 5. If the quiescent current remains above 50 mA after all controls have been implemented: • Create a TIPS case • Document all the completed steps and measurement results • Attach the XENTRY Scope trace of the draws that you have seen and identify where certain steps were taken. • Attach the latest N73 and N73/3*1 CUL's • If the quiescent current is higher than 1 A, the bus keep awake control unit should be identified via the EIS gateway

SummaryComplaint A noticeable jerk or jolt from the transmission occurs in electric driving mode (E mode), between 20-40 mph. Concern is mainly felt when coasting. Cause Parameters of the 5–4 neutral downshift (the shift method used in EV operation). Remedy This shift concern is considered normal for vehicles with this drivetrain. Hardware replacement does not change the root cause of the concern, as the observed shift behavior is characteristic of normal system function rather than a component‑related fault. The following adaptations may improve the shift quality: 1. Check transmission oil level (transmission oil temperature > 60°C) 2. Flush valves via Xentry procedure 3. Perform standstill adaptation 4. Perform driving adaptations for the 5–4 shift while following the below parameters: - Drive program: Slippery - Display torque in the instrument cluster - Do not shift using the paddles During coasting downshift 5-4: - Torque between –90 and –15 Nm (-66 and -11 ft-lb) - Maximum engine speed: 1,300 rpm

SummaryComplaint Customer states the AC either does not cool/has poor performance or heat is insufficient. Cause Many possible root causes Remedy AC Diagnosis (General) Initial Steps Verify Customer Concern • Confirm the issue reported by the customer. Compare to Like Vehicle • Determine if the behavior is normal by comparing with a similar vehicle. Determine Your Game and Players • Identify the diagnostic strategy and involved components/systems. Testing • Perform relevant diagnostic tests. Refrigerant Quantity • Record the amount of refrigerant recovered and compare it to the specified value (if applicable). • Forming Gas is the ONLY approved leak test method. (DYE is NOT approved) TIPS Case Submission Requirements/Warranty Claim Submission Requirements Cooling Capacity Test (If System Has a Charge) *Note - TIPS case is only required if the root cause is not identified or other Li's/documents require a case to be open. Before Repairs Gauge Readings • High and Low pressure readings (from machine or separate gauges). Leak Detection (if applicable) • PPM of any leaks found. XENTRY Printouts • Climate control AVs. • HV compressor AVs (for heat and AC systems). Thermometer Readings • Left and right dash vents. • Center vent, footwell, and/or rear vents (if concern is localized). Ambient Conditions • Temperature and humidity from OCP AVs (if available). After Repairs Gauge Readings • High and Low pressure readings before and after repairs. Thermometer Readings • Left and right dash vents before and after. • Center vent, footwell, and/or rear vents before and after (if localized concern). Documentation • Complaint Analysis, Game/Players, and Testing Steps. • Include expected results and technical justification for the diagnosis. • Avoid listing R/I steps—focus on diagnostic reasoning and root cause. • All prior measurements need to be documented on the repair order.

SummaryComplaint Dull thumping noise or ticking noise under the vehicle in the area of the engine/two-mass flywheel/transmission. Is significantly perceptible at the front right wheel well and can also be faintly heard in the vehicle interior. Cause The ticking noise occurs in idle operation in drive program C & S at 780 rpm when the state of charge of the battery is over 65% and the load requirement at the belt-driven starter alternator is simultaneously over 25 Nm. The load requirement can occur due to a number of auxiliary consumers (e.g. air conditioning system, steering wheel or seat heating, etc.). Remedy Check the software version on N127 (PTCU) and N15/15 (transmission) and update if an update is available. Software change: Adaptation of the idle speed and thereby reduction of the intensity of the noise. If the problem persists, the cause is design-related and therefore corresponds to the series production configuration. Replacing parts does not remedy the problem. Note: The noise is not caused by damage or a defect. It also has no negative effects over the operating time.
