Hi mates,
I'm actually on my ski holiday. The R parks outside in a yard, temeprature is less, than - 10 C. I started the car one day after arrival and it started a bit heavier then usual. I'm afraid that my battery goes empty, its a 3 years old car with OE battery. I have additional alarm and immobiliser (previous owner) and the main thing, that I do not have keyloks.
So if battery goes empty, I can not get in the car. To avoid this, I left open the bonnet (to be able to charge the battery if it goes empty) and locked the doors. Factory alarm was not engaged.
What do you think? Is it safe? Is it normal that factory alarm did not engeged with bonnet open? Does it consume any electricity in this case?
Thanks!
