In the event of a breakdown
8Protect 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 is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:► unlock the bonnet by activating the internal command, then the external command.► lift the bonnet, then fix it in place with its rod.(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible, use the
engine mounting.
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 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.
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.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.► Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of flat battery A (at the metal elbow) then to
the positive terminal (+) of backup battery B or
the booster.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of backup battery B
or the booster (or an earth point on the other
vehicle).
► Connect the other end of the green or black cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.
► Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes.► Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
► Wait until the engine returns to idle then disconnect the jump lead cables in the reverse
order.
