Troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks :
– Ensure that all electrical equipments
(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnecting
the battery.
– when charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting the
battery.
– to avoid creating a short circuit
between 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.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be
compatible with a battery with
nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running. Follow the
instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Some batteries may
have specific conditions
for recharging. Consult
your approved dealer.
Avoid the risk of sparks, as this
could cause a sudden explosion,
and always charge the battery in
a well-ventilated 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 and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come
into contact with the battery as
there is a risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when
carrying out operations in close
proximity. In addition, the engine
cooling fan can come on at any
moment.
Risk of injury.
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from
another vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you
already have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage of 12
volts. The battery supplying the
current should have a capacity (amp-
hours, Ah) which is at least the same
as that of the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the
discharged battery is properly
connected. Switch off your vehicle
ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at an
intermediate engine speed.
