Remove the fuse using tweezers 3, lo-
cated on the back of cover 1 or in glove
box 2.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.
Fuses
Check the fuse in question
and replace it, if neces-
sary, by a fuse of the same
rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is
too high, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the
event of an item of equipment using
an excessive amount of current.

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.
Fuse box
If electrical equipment does not work,
check the condition of the fuses.
Depending on the vehicle, remove
flap 1 or the flap located in storage
compartment 2.
To identify the fuses, refer to the fuse
allocation label (shown on the following
pages).
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.

Battery: troubleshooting (1/2)
to avoid all risk of sparks:
– 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.
– Always wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery.
– 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.
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.
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.

Attach positive lead A to mounting 1
attached to (+) terminal 2 then to
(+) terminal 3 of the battery supplying
the current.
Attach the negative lead B to the
(– ) terminal 4 of the battery supplying
the current, then to the (–) terminal 5
of the discharged battery.
Start the engine. As soon as it is run -
ning, disconnect leads A and B in the
reverse order ( 5 - 4 - 3 - 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 a moderate
speed.
Battery: troubleshooting (2/2)
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 and/or damage to the
vehicle.

Fire hazard.
– No work may be carried out on
the vehicle’s electrical or radio
circuits, except by approved
Dealers: an incorrectly con -
nected system may result in
damage being caused to the
electrical equipment and/or the
components connected to it;
– if the vehicle is fitted with any
aftermarket electrical equip -
ment, make sure that the unit
is correctly protected by a fuse.
Establish the rating and position
of this fuse.
Before fitting an electrical or
electronic device (particu -
larly for transmitters/receiv-

power level, position of the aerial
etc.), ensure that it is compatible
with your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer for this
information.
Fitting after-market

If you wish to install acces-
sories on the vehicle: con -
sult an approved dealer.
Also, to ensure the correct opera -

any risk to your safety, we recom -
mend that you use only specific ac-
cessories, designed for your vehi -
cle, which are the only accessories
for which the manufacturer will pro-
vide a warranty.
If you are using an anti-theft
device, only attach it to the
brake pedal.

Wipers (replacing blades)
WIndscreen WIPer BLades
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades and the wind -
screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen
when they have not been used
for a long time.
replacing windscreen wiper
blades 1
– Lift the windscreen wiper arm 3 as
far as it will go (the arm does not lift
up completely);
– press button 2 and slide the wiper
blade sideways to release hook 4 on
the wiper arm.
– 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.
