Terminal 30g:
Terminal 30g is controlled by the CAS. When the overall vehicle is wakened by an operation of the user, terminal 30g is
switched on. Terminal 30g is automatically switched off after a codable after-run time (e.g. 30 minutes). The after-run
time starts with the event terminal R Off. As in the case of terminal 15, a relay in the distribution box is activated by the
CAS via a semiconductor switch. The relay of terminal 30g switches the battery voltage to approx. 18 fuses in the
distribution box.

Terminal 30g-f:
Terminal 30g-f is a terminal 30 that is only switched off of faults are detected.
Terminal 30g-f only exists if a bistable relay is fitted. The relay is not visibly arranged in the distribution box. As a rule,
the bistable relay is only fitted together with the IBS.
On vehicles with CCC, M-ASK or independent heating, a relay of this kind is fitted. On some equipment variants with
TCU, a bistable relay is also fitted.
On vehicles without terminal 30g-f, the corresponding fuses are supplied with terminal 30g.
The JBE controls terminal 30g-f via a bistable relay in the distribution box. The bistable relay can be switched off or on.
As a rule, the bistable relay is always switched on. The bistable relay has two relay coils and it always remains in the
last state activated (switched on or switched off).
The following three faults exist in which terminal 30g-f is switched off:
Up to model year 09/2006:
1. As of approx. 60 minutes terminal R off, the DME/DDE starts a closed-circuit current measurement using
the IBS. When the DME/DDE determines a closed-circuit current fault, this wakes up the vehicle and
sends a message for cutoff of terminal 30g-f. The JBE receives the message and switches the bistable
relay off.
Increased closed-circuit current due a switched-on auxiliary consumer unit is not a closed-circuit current
fault for the DME/DDE. Nonetheless, terminal 30g-f is switched off even if the starting capability limit is
reached. The command for cutoff of terminal 30g-f is also issued in this case by the DME/DDE.
2. As of terminal R off, the JBE monitors whether the vehicle is able to go into the idle state. The vehicle can
only enter the idle state when all the control units are ready for this. If not all control units have signalled
this readiness approx. 30 minutes, the JBE switches terminal 30g-f off. The JBE also stores all the control
units in the energy history memory that have not signalled readiness for the idle state.

3. A few minutes after terminal R off, the vehicle has normally switched into the idle state. As of the idle
state, the JBE counts how often the vehicle is wakened. The JBE switches terminal 30g-f off when a
vehicle has been wakened unexpectedly more than 30 time with terminal R off. The JBE also stores the
maximum number of waking events in the energy history memory.
As of model year 03/2007:
1. If an IBS is fitted, the power management in the DME/DDE monitors the closed-circuit current and the
battery status. If the battery charge state is close to the starting capability limit, the vehicle is wakened
and a message to reset or shut down terminal 30g-f is sent. The JBE regulates the bi-stable relay
accordingly.
2. If the vehicle is wakened too often after shutdown of terminal 30g, the JBE switches terminal 30g-f off for
approx. 10 seconds (reset). If the vehicle is still wakened after the reset, terminal 30g-f is switched off
permanently until the next terminal change (shutdown).
3. If the vehicle does not go to sleep after shutdown of terminal 30g, the JBE switches terminal 30g-f off for
approx. 10 seconds (reset). If the vehicle still does not go to sleep after the reset, terminal 30g-f is
switched off permanently until the next terminal change (shutdown).
In all cases of cutoff, a fault is entered in the JBE. The cutoff of terminal 30g-f is independent of what triggered the
detected fault. The cutoff is only an attempt to remedy the fault in the vehicle and prevent it from not starting. The cutoff
of terminal 30g-f does not necessarily mean that there was a fault in a consumer unit of terminal 30g-f.
The switch-on condition for terminal 30g-f is switching on terminal R. For this reason, with terminal R or terminal 15,
terminal 30g-f is always switched on.

AHM Trailer module (as of model year 09/2007)

Terminal 15:
Control of terminal 15 is by the CAS depending on operation of the start/stop button (with the key inserted in the key
slot).
The gearshift mechanism of terminal 15 is switched in the CAS via semiconductor switch. A relay in the distribution box
is activated via the output of a semiconductor switch. The relay switches the voltage of the battery to approx. 7 fuses in
the distribution box. The consumer units of terminal 15 are essentially supplied from here.
Control unit supplied by terminal 15:

PDC Park distance control

For safety reasons, some control units have a terminal 15 line directly from CAS, e.g. the FRM (footwell module).
Terminal 87:
The DME/DDE controls terminal 87 via a relay in the E-box. Terminal 87 is switched on as soon as terminal 15 is
switched on. After terminal 15 has been switched off, terminal 87 is switched off by the DME/DDE with a slight delay.
No control units are supplied by terminal 87.
Terminal R:
Terminal R is not present as a hardware terminal. The status of terminal R is only communicated from CAS via the bus
systems.
