When the ignition is off, some consu-
mers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the mes-
sage “BATTERY MODE: ECONOMY”
appears when switched off. When the
level is extremely low, the message
“BATTERY LOW START ENGINE” is
displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your
vehicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– with the vehicle stopped and the engine off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.

This is located behind step A and does
not require maintenance. You should
not open it or add any fluid .
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must n\
ot
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.
Label B
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 1 naked flames and smoking are for-
bidden;
– 2 eye protection required;
– 3 keep away from children;
– 4 explosive materials;
– 5 refer to the handbook;
– 6 corrosive materials.
The battery is a speci-
fic type, please ensure it
is replaced with the same

PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (1/2)
On equipped vehicles, this is located
underneath the chassis.
If the emergency spare
wheel has been stored
for several years, have it
checked by your dealer to
ensure that it is safe to use.
In some cases (puncture at the rear,
vehicle with towing equipment, etc.)
it may be necessary to lift the vehi-
cle beforehand (via the lifting point
closest to the affected wheel) to pro-
vide access to the emergency spare
wheel (please refer to the informa-
tion on “changing a wheel: vehicle
with standard wheels” in Section 5).

To remove the emergency spare
wheel
– Insert the end of the unlocking key 3
extended (depending on the vehicle)
by the hexagonal extension piece 5
and the wheelbrace 6 in location 1
or 4 (the use of other tools could
damage the mechanism);
– lower the emergency spare wheel fully;
– unclip the component 2 on the wheel
rim;
– thread the component 2 through the
wheel rim (as shown in A) to release
the wheel.

5.4
TOOL KIT
Location of the tool kit
Tool kit 1 is located under the driver’s
seat.
To remove the tools, move the seat
forward and fold down the seatback
(please refer to the information on the
“Front seats” in Section 1).
Contents of the tool kit(depending on the vehicle)
– hydraulic jack 2;
– towing hitch 3;
– hubcap tool 4;
1
Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come
loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: ri\
sk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, you must only use these bol\
ts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances
should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to \
gain access
to the underside of the vehicle.
Nothing should be placed
on the floor area in front of
the driver as such objects
may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

TOWING: breakdown (1/2)
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to provide
brake lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad- visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
Towing a vehicle with a
sequential gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle for example).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.

5.39
First screw in towing hitch 4 as far
as it will go by hand, then finish tight-
ening it fully using the wheelbrace
stored in tool kit 3.
TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
When storing the tools,
ensure that they are cor-
rectly replaced in unit 3, in
their original positions and
store the unit under the driver’s
seat. Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as they may
come loose under braking.
Front towing point 2
Accessing towing hitch 4
Move the driver’s seat forward and re-
cline the seatback so that tool kit 3 can
be removed.
Access to front towing point 2
Unclip cover 5 by inserting a flat-blade
screwdriver or similar under the cover.

Only use:
– At the rear left, towing point 1.
– At the front, towing hitch 4 (from
the tool kit) and towing point 2.
These towing points may only be used
for pulling the vehicle, never for lifting it
either directly or indirectly.

* Towing weight (Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the GTW - MAM calculation is equal to zero, or \
when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on th e
identification plate.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation in each country and, in particular, laid down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more th\
an 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10\
% or 100 kg (whichever occurs first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 48 mph (80 kph), depending on local legislation, and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
The weights indicated are for a basic vehicle without options: they vary\
depending on the your vehicle’s equipment.
Contact an approved dealer.
