BATTERY: troubleshooting (3/4)
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap- proved Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion and charge the battery in a well-venti- lated area. Risk of serious injury.
If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. It will then be necessary, with the engine run- ning, to move the steering wheel slowly, from lock to lock and to reprogram the electronic equipment with a memory feature, radio, etc. The battery should be stored in a cool and dry location pro- tected from frost.
Note: if you have disconnected or re- charged a battery, move the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock to reset the system.
Have the battery’s charge status checked regularly:
– especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving in town;
– when the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use the electrical equipment that is really necessary;
– finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a result of certain permanent electrical consumers such as the clock, after- sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to the vehicle, have them connected to the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact an approved Dealer.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com- patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon- nect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc- tions given by the manufacturer for the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-main- tained battery will have a long and useful life and enable you to start the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.

Start the engine as you would normally. As soon as it is running, disconnect
leads A and B in the reverse order (5-4-3-2).
Attach the positive lead A on support 1 to terminal 2 (+) of the discharged bat- tery, then to terminal 3 (+) of the bat- tery supplying the current.
Attach negative lead B to terminal 4 (–) of the battery supplying the current, then to terminal 5 (–) of the discharged battery.
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting your vehicle from another vehicle’s battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (large) from an approved Dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden- tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the dis- charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply- ing the current and run it at an interme- diate engine speed.

Leads A and B must only be con- nected to the terminals indicated.
Check that there is no con-
tact between leads A and B
and that the positive lead A is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
