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.
