BATTERY

1
The battery 1 does not need to be serv-
iced; never open the cover on the
battery.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status.
With the ignition off, in order to save
the battery, some electrical consum-
ers may be switched off (dipped beam
headlights, 12 V sockets, interior light-
ing, radio, ventilation, etc.)
On the instrument panel, depending on
the vehicle, this cut-off is accompanied
by the message "battery saving mode"
or "batt save". Depending on the vehi-
cle, when the level is extremely low, the
message "low battery, start engine" is
displayed.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– with the vehicle stopped, engine not
running.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
The battery is a specific
type, please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
