TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/6)
To connect the compressor, open the
bonnet and connect black clamp 10
to earth 6 (refer to the information on
“Battery: troubleshooting” in Section 5).
Then connect red clamp 11 to termi-
nal 5.
Before starting the engine,
check that the handbrake is
applied and the gear lever
is in neutral or in position N
for sequential gearboxes.
With the engine running, press switch 7
to start inflating.
After a maximum of 15 minutes, stop in-
flating and read the pressure on pres-
sure gauge 9.
A pressure of at least 4.7 bar must be
reached.
Note: whilst the cylinder is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pressure
gauge 9 will briefly indicate a pressure
of up to 6 bar. Then the pressure drops.

If the correct pressure cannot be
achieved, repair is impossible. Do
not drive the vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer.
If the pressure is too high, press
button 8 to lower the pressure.

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.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected to
the + after ignition feed .
BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour-
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery;
– when charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting
the battery;
– to avoid creating a short circuit be- tween the terminals, do not place
metal objects on the battery;
– 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.
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.

5.34
BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
Attach the positive lead (+) A to termi-
nal 3, then to terminal 2 (+) of the bat-
tery supplying the current.
Attach negative lead (–) B to terminal 1
(–) of the battery supplying the current,
then to earth 4 (–).
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the 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 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). Switch off your vehicle
ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at a moderate
speed.
A
B
21
Check that there is no contact between leads A and B and that the posi-
tive lead A is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: battery
Do not dispose of your used
batteries in the countryside.
Give them to an organisa-
tion that collects and recy-
cles used batteries.

Replacing the remote control
battery
Undo screw 1 to remove the remote
control cover. Replace battery
2 according to the di-
rection marked on the cover.
Note: It is not advisable to touch the
electronic circuit in the key cover when
replacing the battery.
When refitting, ensure that the cover
is correctly clipped on and the screw
tightened.
The batteries are available from ap-
proved Dealers, and their service
life approximately two years.
Check that there is no dye on the
battery: risk of an incorrect electri-
cal contact.

HANDS-FREE ACCESS TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER: battery
Replacing the battery
Use a coin to open the unit via slot 1.
Do not dispose of your used
batteries in the countryside.
Give them to an organisa-
tion that collects and recy-
cles used batteries.

Replace battery 2 according to the di-
rection marked on the cover.
Note: it is not advisable to touch the
electronic circuit in the cover when re-
placing the battery.
When refitting, ensure that the cover
is correctly clipped into place.
The batteries are available from ap-
proved Dealers, and their service
life approximately two years.
Check that there is no dye on the
battery: risk of an incorrect electri-
cal contact.

The starter is activatedPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Warning lights dim or fail to come on;
the starter does not run. Battery terminals disconnected,
oxidised or incorrectly secured.Contact an approved Dealer.
Battery discharged or worn. Connect another battery to the faulty bat-
tery. Refer to the paragraph “Battery: trou-
bleshooting” in Section 5 or replace the bat-
tery if necessary.
Do not push the vehicle if the steering
column is locked.
The engine will not start. Starting conditions are not fulfilled.Refer to the information on “Starting/stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2.
The steering column remains locked. Steering wheel locked. To unlock, move the key and the steer-
ing wheel (refer to the information on the
“Ignition switch” in Section 2).
OPERATING FAULTS (1/4)
The following advice will enable you to carry out quick, temporary repai\
rs. For safety reasons you should always contact
an approved dealer as soon as possible.
