batteries
Lead-acid starter batteries
These batteries contain harmful
substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never under any
circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
Dispose of used batteries at a designated
collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Electronic control units/LED technology
headlamps
Never connect the negative jump lead to the
metal part of the electronic control units or at
the back of the headlamps.
Risk of destroying the electronic control units
and/or headlamps!
Connect to the remote earth point provided for
this purpose.
Frozen battery
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 could lead to a risk of leakage
of toxic and corrosive acid.
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Symbols
No sparks or naked flames, no smoking.
Always protect your eyes. Explosive gases
can cause blindness and injury.
Keep the vehicle's battery out of the reach
of children.
The vehicle's battery contains sulphuric
acid which can make you go blind or cause
severe burns.
For more information, refer to the
handbook.

With petrol/Diesel engines
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or for charging a discharged battery.
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:
►  Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever, then the external safety catch.
►  Raise the bonnet.
(+) Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located near
the battery.
Starting using another battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.

182
In the event of a breakdown08
Check beforehand that the backup battery has
a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at
least equal to that of the discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►  Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the (+)
terminal of the backup battery B or of the booster.
►  Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►  Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C.
►  Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►  Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►  Wait for it to return to idle.
►  Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►  Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►  Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes,
with the vehicle stationary, so that the battery
reaches an adequate state of charge.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.
Stop & Start).
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:
–

When 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.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►  Switch the ignition off.
►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).


►  Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►  Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
