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 -

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.
