To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour- tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
–

w
hen charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
–

t
o 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;
–

m
ake 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.

–

clean
the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
–

do
not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
–

free
them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
–

Check
the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.

TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Towing procedure
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to pro-
vide stop 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.
Front and rear towing points
Only use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
W h e n t h e e n g i n e i s
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– Use a rigid towing bar (except for off-road recovery). 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.
–

A

void accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result in
damage being caused to the vehicle.
–

When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 15 mph (25

km/h).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.
