lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of lamp,
contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
A LED (light-emitting diode) replacement
kit is available from the dealer network.
For bulbs with lugs, type H1, H7... take
care to position them correctly to ensure
the best lighting.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S) must be replaced
in the dealer network or by a qualified
workshop.

llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

i
f you use your vehicle mostly for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
If you plan to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries of a nominal
voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A . Never try to charge a frozen battery – Risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
in the dealer network or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F

S
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
After having accessed the battery, disconnect
the positive (+) terminal only.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

Reconnecting the (+) terminal
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.
By referring to the corresponding section, you
must reset certain systems yourself, such as:
-
o
ne-touch electric windows,
-

t
he date and time,
-
a

udio and navigation system settings.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only in the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
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).
