Oh, and it's valid for the North American cars only. Looks like European cars get second battery only with a fridge. Though we don't get parking heater of TV here

But information about Active Steering is correct too:

"Auxiliary battery

On some types of vehicle with certain combinations of engine and gearbox (weight on the front axle), a more powerful electromechanical power steering system is fitted for the option (SA2VH) "Integral Active Steering". The electromechanical power steering can be operated with 24 Volts.

An auxiliary battery is fitted for the power supply (24 Volts) of this power steering. By means of a cut-off relay, this auxiliary battery is switched into series with the vehicle battery.

The EPS control unit transmits the request signal as a bus signal to the charging controller for the auxiliary battery via the engine control (EPS stands for "Electronic Power Steering"). The charging unit activates the cut-off relay."

Well, that INFO is wrong. I have Both rear heated seats and parking heater, but no second battery.
