12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F
r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior lever,
F
r
aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F
l
ift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.
Starting using another battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump leads
or a battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

your vehicle has one.
F
A
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.

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
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows), 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).

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
When changing the setting of treble and bass,
the equalizer setting is deselected.
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble

Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources. To allow for optimal listening quality, the
audio settings can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source.Check that the audio settings are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is recommended
that the audio settings (Bass, Treble, Balance)
be adjusted to the middle position, select the
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When the engine is off, the system stops after
several minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's
operating time depends on the state of charge
of the battery.
In normal off state, the system automatically
goes into energy economy mode to maintain an
adequate charge in the battery.Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the charge
of the battery.
The date and time cannot be set. Setting of the date and time is only available
