minutes after starting the engine.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–

using the v
ehicle mainly for short journeys;
–

if the v
ehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself,
use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by
a dealer or by a qualified workshop who will
verify that the internal components have not
been damaged and that the case has not
cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and
corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken
out of service for a long period. Before disconnecting the battery:
► 
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

►  Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
►  Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
►  Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
