In case of vehicle inactivity conditions, pay
special attention to the disconnection of
the battery power supply. The procedure
must be made by disconnecting the quick
release negative terminal A-fig. 103 from
the dummy negative pole B, as the battery
negative pole C has a sensor D for bat-
tery condition monitoring that must nev-
er be disconnected (unless the battery is
replaced).

must be paid due to the disconnection of
the battery power supply. Proceed as fol-
lows: detach the connector A-fig. 104 (by

the battery negative pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is replaced.

one of the same type (HEAVY DUTY)
and having the same specifications.
