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.

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.

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.

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.  

5.37
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.Retighten, reconnect or clean them if they 
are oxidised.
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. 

5.38
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
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.
The oil pressure warning light comes 
on: while cornering or braking The level is too low. Top up the engine oil level (refer to the in-
formation on “Engine oil level: topping up/
filling” in Section 4).
is slow to go out or remains lit under 
acceleration Loss of oil pressure.
Stop the vehicle and contact an approved 
Dealer.
White smoke from the exhaust. This is not necessarily a fault. Smoke 
may be caused by regeneration of 
the particle filter. Refer to the information on “Special fea-
tures of diesel versions” in Section 2.
