12 VOLT BATTERY (2/2)Connecting a charger to the
accessories socket
Only use a charger that is compatible
with a nominal voltage of 14.4 volts
and a current limited to 5 amps.
With the ignition switched on, plug
the power supply into the accessories
socket 7 located in the storage com-
partment 8. Please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
Recharging the 12 volt
battery
It is difficult to access the 12 volt bat-
tery. It is therefore recommended that
you attach the vehicle plug to a power
source: energy is supplied to both the
12 volt battery and the traction battery
at the same time.
Please refer to the information on
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section 1.
Do not forget to switch off the ignition
when replacing the traction battery.
Immobilising the vehicle for an
extended period of time
Before immobilisation, you should
make sure that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the side lights and hazard warning lights are switched off;
– the traction battery is fully charged.
After lengthy immobilisation, it is normal
to find the traction battery charge level
down. In this case, recharge it (see
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section
1).
Do not use booster cables
to start the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS: replacing bulbs (2/2)
Any operation on (or modi-

system must be performed
by an authorised dealer
since incorrect connections could
damage the electrical equipment
(wiring, components). In addition,
your dealer has available all the
parts necessary for fitting electrical
components.
Cleaning the headlights
Use a soft cloth. If this does not clean
it properly, moisten the cloth with soapy
water then rinse off.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
To comply with local legislation, or
as a precaution, you can obtain an
emergency kit containing a set of
spare bulbs and fuses from an ap-
proved dealer.

OPERATING FAULTS (3/3)
Electrical equipmentPOSSIBLE CAUSESACTION REQUIRED
The headlights
are not working. Only one: – blown bulb,
Replace the bulb.
– disconnected wire or incorrectly- positioned connector, Check and reconnect the wire or the connector.
– faulty earth connection. See above.
Both: – if the circuit is fused. Check and replace if necessary.
The headlights do not switch off. Faulty electrical controls. Consult an approved dealer.
Traces of condensation in the lights. This is not a fault. The presence of traces of condensation in lights is a
natural phenomenon linked to vari-
ations in temperature.
These traces soon disappear when
the lights are switched on.
