Opening the battery storage compartments if the
12-volt battery is flat
During normal operation, the 12-volt battery will remain charged
via the primary battery. If the primary battery has no charge (flat) or
has been removed and the 12-volt battery has insucient charge
or no charge (flat), it is not possible to open the battery storage
compartments.
If the 12-volt battery has no charge (flat), the instrument panel will
not illuminate and it will not be possible to open the primary and
secondary battery storage compartments using the battery storage
compartment unlock button.
To open the battery storage compartments, the 12-volt battery must
be charged using the charging lead. For further information,
see 12-volt battery charging on page 62.
When the 12-volt battery has sucient charge, it is possible to open
the battery storage compartment and install or recharge the primary
battery. When the primary battery has sucient charge, it will charge
the 12-volt battery when the ignition is turned to the ON position.
Note: The 12-volt battery indicator light illuminates if there is
a potential problem with the 12-volt system.
