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.
Access to the battery
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located on the upper
part of the bonnet (next to the battery).
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from 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.
Check beforehand that the backup
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 the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, etc.).
