Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com-
patible with a battery with nominal 
voltage of 12 volts.
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.
When many accessories are fitted to 
the vehicle, have them connected to 
the + after ignition feed .
BATTERY: troubleshooting (1/2)
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;
–  to avoid creating a short circuit be- tween the terminals, do not place 
metal objects on the battery;
–  always wait at least one minute after  the engine has been switched off 
before disconnecting a battery;
–  make sure that you reconnect the  battery terminals after refitting.
Special procedures may be 
required to charge some 
batteries. Contact your ap-
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may 
cause an immediate explosion, and 
charge the battery in a well venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
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. If necessary, 
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
Please note when working close to 
the engine that it may be hot. In ad-
dition, the engine cooling fan may 
start at any moment. The 
 
warning light in the engine compart-
ment reminds you of this.

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).
When the engine is 
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from 
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
Towing a vehicle with a 
sequential gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
–  switch on the ignition;
–  select neutral with the brake pedal  depressed;
–  check that the gearbox is in neutral  (by pushing the vehicle for example).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow 
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed 
with the ignition switched off.
