Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open it or add
any fluid.
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.
BATTERY (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers may also be switched off (dipped
beam headlights, radio, ventilation,
etc.). On the instrument panel, the
“BATTERY MODE : ECONOMY” mes-
sage appears when they are switched
off. When the level is extremely low,
the messages “BATTERY LOW” and
“START ENGINE” are displayed.
The charge status of the battery can
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops, etc.;
– with the vehicle stopped and the engine off.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
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.
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.
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.
– Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Always wait at least twenty seconds after the engine has been switched
off before disconnecting a battery.
– Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon-
nect both battery leads 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.

Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to the correct pres-
sure, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Coolant boiling in the coolant reservoir. Mechanical fault: damaged cylinder
head gasket.Stop the engine.
Contact an approved Dealer.
Smoke under the bonnet. Short circuit or cooling system leak.Stop, switch off the ignition, stand away
from the vehicle and contact an approved
dealer.

On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating.Consult an approved Dealer.
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator and the STOP
warning light come on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and

approved Dealer as soon as possible.
OPERATING FAULTS (3/4)
Radiator: If there is a lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up \
using cold coolant while the engine is
very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling system, it must
be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Remi\
nder: only products approved by our Technical
Department may be used for this purpose.
