BATTERY: troubleshooting

(1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any consumers (cour-

tesy lights, etc.) are switched off

before disconnecting or reconnect-

ing the battery;

– when charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery;

– to avoid creating a short circuit be-

tween 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.

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 during oper-

ations in close proximity. In addition,

the engine cooling fan may start to

operate at any moment. Risk of se-

rious injury.

Certain batteries may have

specific recharging require-

ments; consult your au-

thorised dealer. Avoid any

risk of sparks, as this could cause

a sudden explosion, and always

charge the battery in a well-venti-

lated area. Risk of serious injury.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the

engine is running. Follow the instruc-

tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to

the vehicle, have them connected to

the + after ignition feed.

5.37

BATTERY: troubleshooting

(2/2)

Starting the vehicle using the

battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from an-

other vehicle to start, obtain suitable

jump leads (with a large cross section)

from an approved dealer or, if you al-

ready have jump leads, ensure that

they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-

tical 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 dis-

charged 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 supply-

ing the current and run it at an interme-

diate engine speed.

Connect the positive (+) lead A to (+)

terminal 1 of the discharged battery,

then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-

plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)

terminal 3 of the battery supplying the

current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the

discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as

it is running, disconnect leads A and B

in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)

Check that there is no con-

tact between leads A and B

and that the positive lead A

is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying the

current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the

vehicle.

5.38

Replacing the battery

Open the cover via slot 1, using a flat-

blade screwdriver or similar, and re-

place the battery 2, observing the type

and polarity shown on the back of the

cover.

When refitting, ensure that the cover is

correctly clipped into place.
Note: It is not advisable to touch the

electronic circuit in the key cover when

replacing the battery.

Do not throw away your

used batteries; give them to

an organisation responsible

for collecting and recycling

batteries.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: batteries

The batteries are available from ap-

proved Dealers, and their service

life approximately two years.
Check that there is no dye on the

battery: risk of an incorrect electri-

cal contact.

5.39

WIPER BLADES

Replacing windscreen wiper

blades 1
– With the ignition off, lift wiper arm 3.
– Turn the blade horizontally (move-

ment A).

– Press tab 2 and slide the wiper blade

downwards (movement D) until

hook 4 on the wiper arm is released.

– Slide the blade (movement C) then

lift it (movement B) to release it.

Replacing the rear screen wiper

blades 5
– With the ignition off, lift wiper arm 6.

– Turn blade 5 until some resistance is

met (movement E).

– Pull the blade to release it (move-

ment F).

Refitting windscreen wiper blades
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in the

reverse order to removal. Make sure

that the blade is correctly locked in po-

sition.

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. You are responsible for their

service life:

– clean the blades, windscreen and

rear screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

– In frosty weather, make

sure that the wiper blades

are not stuck by ice (to

avoid the risk of the motor

overheating).

–

Check the condition of the wiper

blades.

Replace the wiper blades as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency

(approximately once a year).

Whilst changing the blade, take care

not to drop the arm onto the window

after it has been removed as this

may break the window.

TOWING: breakdown

(1/3)

Before any towing, put the gears into

neutral (neutral position for vehicles

equipped with a manual gearbox or N

position for vehicles equipped with an

automatic gearbox).
Unlock the steering column; the igni-

tion key must be in “M” position (ig-

nition) to enable signalling (“Stop”

lights, hazard warning lights, etc.).

Always switch on the lights when

driving at night.
Release the parking brake.
It is also essential to observe the towing

regulations imposed by current legisla-

tion in your country. Please contact an

authorised dealer.

Front and rear towing points

Only use the front 1 and rear 2

towing points.

Depending on the vehicle, unclip the

cover 3 by inserting a flat tool under the

cover.

When the engine is stop-

ped, steering and braking

assistance are not opera-

tional.

Do not remove the key from

the ignition when the vehi-

cle is being towed.

– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows

this), the vehicle being towed must be able to brake.

– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.

– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result

in damage being caused to the vehicle.

– When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).

– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.

These towing points may only be used

for towing: never use them for lifting the

vehicle directly or indirectly.

5.41

TOWING: breakdown

(2/3)

4-wheel drive vehicles (4WD)

Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a

4WD vehicle must never be towed if

any of its 4 wheels are touching the

ground.

Off-road recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow

or mud, attach a flexible towing device

(towing belt or other device specially

designed for this purpose) to the front

or rear towing point (refer to the in-

formation on “Front and rear towing

points” on the previous page).

For off-road recovery, it

is forbidden to use a rigid

bar to tow a vehicle that is

stuck. Risk of mechanical

damage.

You must never tow a 4-wheel drive

vehicle, irrespective of the mode se-

lected, if one of the 4 wheels is in

contact with the ground (except for

off-road recovery). Risk of mechani-

cal damage.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for information on how to fit

and operate the equipment.
If a 4x4 (4WD) vehicle becomes

stuck, it should only be towed for a

short distance. Risk of mechanical

damage.

Do not leave the tools unse-

cured inside the vehicle as

they may come loose under

braking.
