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.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
Connect the positive (+) lead A to (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-
plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads A and B and that the positive (+)
lead A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
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 an interme-
diate engine speed.
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact
your approved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.
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.

5.27
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.
FUSES (1/2)
Fuse box
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover A. To locate the fuses, please see the fol-
lowing page.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Some functions are protected by fuses
located in the engine compartment.
However, because of their reduced ac-
cessibility,
it is recommended to have
these fuses replaced by an autho-
rised dealer.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of
the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the elect\
rical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipmen\
t using
an excessive amount of current.

Tweezers 1
Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-
cated at the back of cover A.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.

service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES (2/2)
– 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.Replacing the rear screen

Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch dipped, engage
first gear (lever in N or R positions for
vehicles with an automatic gearbox),
insert the key in the ignition-starter
switch.
Reposition the lever to neutral (position
N for vehicles fitted with an automatic
gearbox).
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (indicators, brake
lights etc.). At night the vehicle must
have its lights on. The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer to
the information on “Weights” in Section
6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off:
the
gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going
forward, with the gear lever in the
Neutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
TOWING: breakdown (1/2)
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
1
If the lever is stuck in P ,
even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on mark 1
and on the unlocking button on the
lever.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.

5.32
TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
43
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad- visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).Access to towing points
Unclip cover 3 or 4.
Tighten the towing hitch 2 fully: first
by hand until it stops then finish by lock-
ing it with the wheel brace.
Use only the towing eye 2 and the
wheelbrace located under the boot
carpet with the tools (please refer to the
information on “Tools” in Section 5).
2
2
Only use the front and rear towing
points (never use the driveshafts).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
