Accessories batteries
(Hybrid)
The hybrid system has two accessory batteries:
one at the front and one at the rear of the vehicle.
The batteries contain harmful
substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with household
waste.
Take used remote control batteries and vehicle
batteries to a special collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling batteries.
All operations on the batteries must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
For the replacement of batteries, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Accessing the batteries
Front
The front battery is located under the bonnet.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken
out of service for a long period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
► Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
► Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
► Switch off the ignition and wait for 4minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
► Raise leverA fully to release clampB.
► Remove clampB by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Raise leverA fully.
► Refit the open clampB on the (+)terminal.
► Push clampB fully down.
► Lower leverA to lock clampB.
► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Electronic key.
– Sunroof and electric sun blind.
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the
“Collision risk detection system fault”
message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
