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.
Battery: troubleshooting  (2/2)
connecting a battery charger
t he  battery  charger  must  be  com -
patible  with  a  battery  with  nominal 
voltage of 12 volts.
Switch  the  engine  off  and  then  discon-
nect  both  battery  leads  starting  with 
the negative terminal.
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.
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.
Attach the positive lead A to the (+)  ter-
minal  1   then  to  the  (+)  terminal 4   of 
the battery supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable  B to the (–)  
terminal  3 of  the  battery  supplying  the 
current and then to the (–)  terminal 2 of 
the discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between 
leads  A   and  B   and  that  the  positive 
lead  A   is  not  touching  any  metal  parts 
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start  the  engine  as  you  would  nor -
mally. As  soon  as  it  starts,  disconnect 
cables  A  and B  in  reverse  order  (2 - 3 
- 4 - 1).

Check  the  condition  of  the  wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  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 (ap-
proximately 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.
