For more information on the Number plate
lamp

, refer to the corresponding section.
Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the motor can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the motor by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster

.
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.
Disconnect or turn off all electrical devices in
both vehicles (portable devices, radio, wipers,
lights, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
motor is switched on.

32
In the event of a breakdown

► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
the flat battery A , then to the (+) terminal of the
backup battery B, or booster.
►
Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B

or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the negative (-) terminal of flat battery A.
►
Start the engine/switch on the motor on the
assisting vehicle and leave it running for a few
minutes.
►
Turn the ignition key to start the disabled
vehicle.
The traction battery takes over the supply to the
12
V circuit.
► Wait for the assisting vehicle to return to idle.
► Disconnect the jump leads in reverse
order.
► Leave the vehicle switched on for at least 30
minutes to allow the traction battery to recharge
the 12
V battery

.
If the battery charge level in the traction battery
is too low, connect the vehicle's charging cable.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate level of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–
When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–
If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
To recharge the vehicle's battery yourself:
–
Only use a charger compatible with lead-
acid batteries and with a nominal voltage of
12
V

.
–
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
–
Never reverse polarities.
– Disconnect the 12 V battery

.
Make sure the vehicle's charging cable is not
connected at the same time.


► Switch the ignition off.
► Disconnect or turn off all electrical devices
(portable devices, wipers, lights, etc.).
►
Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery

, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►
Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►
Connect the cables from charger B as
follows: •
Positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal on
battery A

.
•
Negative (-) black cable to the (-) terminal on
battery A

.
►
At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the cables
from battery

A.

In the event of a breakdown
8Towing the vehicle
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential to put
the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
An electric vehicle must never be used for road transfers.
It may be used, for example, to exit a rut.
