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.

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.

5.31
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.

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.
