AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle.
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents on and the win-
dows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.

Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.

– Switch off the vehicle ignition.
– Ensure that any electrical consumers (courtesy lights, etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or recon-
necting the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Before disconnecting the battery, check
that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the gear control is in position P
(please see the information on “Gear
control”;
– the charging cable is disconnected.
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.
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.
The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Disconnect the leads connected to both
battery terminals, starting with the
negative terminal.
Follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Do not work on the 12 volt
battery (charging, replac-
ing, etc.):

12 VOLT BATTERY: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Check that there is no contact between
the cables A and B and that the (+)
cable A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the motor, then disconnect
cables A and B in reverse order (4 -3 -
2-1).Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage: 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 motor of the vehicle supplying
the current and run it at an intermediate
engine speed.
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.
1
Connect the positive cable (+) A to the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery
supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable (–) B to the
(–) 3 terminal of the battery supplying
the current and then to the (–) 4 termi-
nal of the discharged battery.
Do not use your electric vehicle to restart the 12 volt battery in a con\
ventional
vehicle. The 12 volt electric power of an electric vehicle is not enough to perfo\
rm
such an operation.

proved Dealer.
FUSES (1/2)
Fuse box
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover A. To locate the fuses, please see the fol-
lowing page.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Some functions are protected by fuses
located in the engine compartment.
However, because of their reduced ac-
cessibility,
it is recommended to have
these fuses replaced by an autho-
rised dealer.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of
the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the elect\
rical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipmen\
t using
an excessive amount of current.
