This fault type can occur if the vehicle was parked with the body front section raised. Information Always park the vehicle at the lowered position, as the upper holding position cannot be guaranteed over a long period of time with the engine stopped depending on the system. Further information on the front-axle lift system can be found in the relevant section of the Owner's Manual. Action required: If both error messages are displayed, perform ride height measurement and check. Required tools Tools: • Battery charger with a current rating of at least 90 A and, if required, also with a current and voltage-controlled charge map for lithium starter batteries, e.g. VAS 5908 battery charger, 90A Information The 911 (992) may be equipped with a lithium-ion 12V battery (I-no. J2A). Lithium starter batteries must only be charged using a suitable battery charger that has a current and voltage-controlled charge map. For further information about the battery chargers to be used, see Workshop Manual '270689 Charging battery/vehicle electrical system'.
