Start battery
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical system
that uses the chassis and engine mount as con-
ductors.
The start battery is used to start the electrical
system and power electrical equipment in the
vehicle. The hybrid battery is used to start the
combustion engine.
The start battery should only be replaced by a
workshop 15
.
The start battery is a 12 V AGM (Absorbed Glass
Mat) battery, dimensioned for regenerative charg-
ing and to support the function of the vehicle's
various systems.
The service life and performance of the start bat-
tery are affected by factors such as driving style,
driving conditions, climate, battery discharges,
number of starts, etc.
• Never disconnect the start battery while the
engine is running.
• Make sure the cables to the start battery are
correctly connected and the clamps are
securely tightened.
WARNING •
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which
is flammable and explosive.
• Do not connect the jumper cable to any
part of the fuel system or to any moving
parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
• Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces.
• If contact occurs, flush the affected area
immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
• Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark. Do not smoke near the
battery. Failure to follow the instructions
for jump starting can lead to injury.
