Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and

General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located on
the structure of the front right wing.

In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
