It does not need to be serviced; never
open cover 1 on the battery.
Battery
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the
message “battery saving mode” or “batt
save” appears when they are switched
off . When the level is extremely low,
the message “low battery, start engine”
is displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops, etc.;
– with the vehicle stopped and the
engine off.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

u nder exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going
forward, with the gear lever in the
n eutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
