Important safety notes

Special tools and expert knowledge are
required when working on the battery, e.g.
removal and installing. You should therefore
have all work involving the battery carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can, for example, lead to a short circuit and
damage your vehicle's electronic system. This
can disrupt driving safety systems such as
ABS (anti-lock braking system) or ESP
(Electronic Stability Program).
If ABS malfunctions, the wheels can lock
R
during braking. This limits the steerability
of the vehicle when braking and the braking
distance may increase. There is a risk of
accident.
®
R If ESP malfunctions, the vehicle will not be
stabilised if it starts to skid or a wheel starts
to spin. There is a risk of accident.
You should therefore have all work involving
the battery carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
G
WARNING
Comply with safety precautions and take
protective measures when handling batteries.
Risk of explosion
Fire, open flames and
smoking are prohibited
when handling the battery.
