BATTERY: breakdown
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Check that the "electrical
consumers" (ceiling courtesy
lights, etc.) are switched off before
disconnecting or reconnecting a

battery.

- When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
- Never disconnect a battery less
than twenty seconds after the
engine has been switched off.
- Make sure that you reconnect
the battery terminals after refitting.

Handle the battery with
care as it contains sulphuric
acid which must not come
into contact with the eyes
or skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of cold water.
Ensure that naked flames, red-hot
objects and sparks do not come
into contact with the battery as
there is a risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the engine
cooling fan may start to operate
at any moment without warning.
