Breakdown recovery
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that the "energy
consumers" (ceiling lights, etc.) are
switched off before disconnecting or
reconnecting a battery;
– when charging, switch off the
charger before connecting or
disconnecting the battery;
– do not place any metal objects on
the battery as this may create a short
circuit across the terminals;
– wait for at least five minutes after
switching off the engine before
disconnecting the battery;
– make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
Depending on the vehicle,
in the event of a battery
fault (disconnected,
discharged battery, etc.), a reset
of the power-assisted steering
must be carried out 🡺123.
Before carrying out any
action in the engine
compartment, you must
switch off the ignition
🡺146.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be
compatible with a battery with
nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery while the
engine is running. Follow the
instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Special procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Contact
your approved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion,
and charge the battery in a well
ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Keep any flames, red hot objects
or sparks away from the battery
components (risk of explosion).
Please note when working close
to the engine that it may be hot.
The engine cooling fan may also
start at any moment. The
label in the engine compartment
reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from
another vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you
already have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage: 12 V. The
