The movement can continue, despite the failure of the generator or voltage regulator. In this case, the power is supplied from the battery. Depending on the state of charge and the capacity of the battery, the battery lasts for about five hours, if you do not turn on unnecessary consumers.
To prevent the battery from being discharged through a faulty alternator or regulator, remove the connector plug from the alternator.
Do not interrupt movement unnecessarily, as a very large current is required to operate the starter. If possible, start the engine by pushing or towing when resuming movement.
Do not turn on the heated rear window, fan and radio.
Windshield wipers and washer should only be used when absolutely necessary.
At night, if possible, do not turn on the high beam and fog lights.
