Do you normally close the bonnet and/or lock the car while you are charging? Does it make any difference?
Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure at what charge the ASS ceases to function, but as a guide, my battery was at 63% when I charged it and the ASS was not working.
I charge my car in the garage, so I leave the bonnet open. The car locks itself when I walk away.
An additional bit of info.
I started the car, drove 1km to the service station to fill up the car and check the tyre pressures. Drove home 1km.
I was surprised to see that the battery charge had dropped 4% (with ASS working). So the car had started probably 4-5 times in that short journey.
It will be interesting tomorrow to check the charge after a 100 km drive to our house on the coast.
