12 VOLT BATTERY: breakdown recovery (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Switch off the vehicle ignition.
– Ensure that any electrical consumers (courtesy lights, etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or recon-
necting the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Before disconnecting the battery, check
that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the gear control is in position P
(please see the information on “Gear
control”;
– the charging cable is disconnected.
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.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
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 injury.
Disconnect the leads connected to both
battery terminals, starting with the
negative terminal.
Follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Do not work on the 12 volt
battery (charging, replac-
ing, etc.):
– without switching off the
ignition;
– if your traction battery is charg- ing.
Please refer to the information
on “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1.
Risk of serious injury.

12 VOLT BATTERY: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Check that there is no contact between
the cables A and B and that the (+)
cable A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the motor, then disconnect
cables A and B in reverse order (4 -3 -
2-1).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: 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 motor of the vehicle supplying
the current and run it at an intermediate
engine speed.
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.
1
Connect the positive cable (+) A to the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery
supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable (–) B to the
(–) 3 terminal of the battery supplying
the current and then to the (–) 4 termi-
nal of the discharged battery.
Do not use your electric vehicle to restart the 12 volt battery in a con\
ventional
vehicle. The 12 volt electric power of an electric vehicle is not enough to perfo\
rm
such an operation.
Risk of damage to vehicle

5.24
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.
FUSES (1/2)
Fuse box
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover A. To locate the fuses, please see the fol-
lowing page.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Some functions are protected by fuses
located in the engine compartment.
However, because of their reduced ac-
cessibility,
it is recommended to have
these fuses replaced by an autho-
rised dealer.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of
the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the elect\
rical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipmen\
t using
an excessive amount of current.

Tweezers 1
Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-
cated at the back of cover A.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.

Choice of breakdown service
In the event of an energy fault
In the event of a fully discharged trac-
tion battery, any type of towing is per-
mitted: towing on a flatbed truck or
towing on the road using the tow eye
(please see following pages).
All other cases
Only towing on a flatbed truck is per-
mitted.
TOWING, BREAKDOWN (1/3)
Before repairs, insert the key in the igni-
tion to unlock the steering column. Turn
it to position M.
The regulations in force for breakdown
recovery must always be observed.Towing on a flatbed truck
Breakdown recovery must be per-
formed on a flat surface under all cir-
cumstances except where the vehicle
is immobilised following a full discharge
of the traction battery. In the event of a
total energy loss, please see the follow-
ing pages.
