– when the temperature drops;
– when the radio is used for extended
periods with the engine switched off
etc.

Battery
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
t o avoid all risk of sparks:
Do not place metal objects on the bat-
tery as this could create a short circuit
between the terminals.
Battery
Never disconnect it.
BA tter Y: troubleshooting (1/2)
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.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact an 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.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera -
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

Connect the positive cable A to the 5
support on the 1 (+) terminal, then to
the 2 (+) terminal of the battery supply -
ing the current.
Connect the negative cable B to the 6
support on the (–) terminal 3 of the
battery supplying the current and then
to the (–) terminal 4 of the discharged
battery.
BA tter Y: troubleshooting (2/2)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
(continued)
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.
Start the engine. As soon as it is
running, disconnect leads A and B
in reverse order (5 - 4 - 3 - 2).
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 or damage to the ve-
hicle.
Leads A and B must only be con-
nected to the terminals indicated.
