Battery: troubleshooting
BAtter Y: troubleshooting
to avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers are
switched off before disconnecting or
reconnecting 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.
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger should be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 Volts.
With the engine off, it is essential to dis-
connect the leads connected to both
battery terminals , 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. Only a fully charged and well
-main -
tained battery will have a long and
useful service life and enable you to
start the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and dry.
Have the battery’s charge status
checked regularly:
– especially if you use your vehicle for
short journeys or for frequent driving
in town;
– when the exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases .
In winter, only use the electrical
equipment that is really necessary;
– finally, you should understand that
the charge decreases naturally as a
result of certain permanent electrical
consumers such as the clock, after-
sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed. In this case,
it is advisable to have your vehicle
fitted with a battery which has an in -
creased nominal capacity. Contact an
approved Dealer. If your vehicle is to
be left stationary for a relatively long
time, disconnect the battery or have it
recharged regularly, particularly during
cold weather. The equipment with a
memory, radio, etc. will then have to
be reprogrammed. The battery must
be stored in a cool dry place, protected
from frost.
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.
