must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger

 Disconnect the battery from the
vehicle.

 Follow the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

 Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive terminal (-).


Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of
certain functions according to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear

The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month. Before disconnecting the

Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the

for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.

functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
