BRAKES55II-4
ABS - Anti-lock Braking System* This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from locking under emergency braking or when
braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion.
It thus also allows control of the steering to be retained. The operation of the various electronic components of the system is continuously monitored, both before and during your
journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS lamp will light for approximately two seconds. If it stays on or lights when
driving, the ABS computer has detected a fault and has disconnected the ABS system. If the lamp lights whilst driving, it
again indicates that a fault has been detected and that the ABS system is inactive. In both situations, the normal braking
system is not affected and will continue to function as a conventional braking system without ABS. Nevertheless, to re-
establish the full safety features of the ABS system, It is recommended that the vehicle be examined by a dealer as soonas possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it is imperative to drive with caution.

BEWARE
Never expose a battery to a naked flame or spark (explosive gases present).
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is corrosive. When handling a battery, protect the hands, eyes and face. In case of contact with the skin, rinse immediately and abundantly with clean water.
Removal Disconnect the battery leads, negati- ve lead first and then remove the
securing clamp to release the battery. Refitting Reconnect the battery starting with the positive lead first. If the vehicle is not used for a prolonged period If the vehicle is to be taken out of use for periods of more than onemonth, the battery should be dis-connected.
* According to model or country Precautions Ensure that the posts and terminals are clean. If they become sulphated, dis- connect and clean them. Never disconnect the leads while the engine is run-ning. Never recharge the battery without first disconnecting the leads. Do notoperate electrical equipment before the engine has reached its operating tem-perature. Starting the engine for the first time after disconnecting and connecting the battery:
- Switch on the ignition.
- Wait 10 seconds before operating the starter to allow the electronic systems
to be reinitialised following the disconnection of the battery. Enter the radio security code*.
Charging a battery The voltage must never exceed 15.5 volts and the charging current must never exceed 20% of the rating marked on the battery casing. For example: L1 250 - Setting: 50 amps maximum.The battery charge period should not exceed 24 hours.Only battery chargers with a constant, regulated voltage output should be used. If the vehicle is used in hot conditions (30¡C and higher) If the battery is fitted with filler plugs, the electrolyte level should be checked
