Battery: troubleshooting
BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour -
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect -
ing the battery;
– when charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
– to avoid creating a short circuit be -
tween the terminals, do not place
metal objects on the battery;
– always wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery;
– make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
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 and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
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 serious injury.
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.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
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 of 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 engine of the vehicle supply -
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed. Connect the positive (+) lead
A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-
plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
Check that there is no con-
tact between leads A and B
and that the positive lead A
is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the
vehicle.
