BATTERY: Breakdown (continued)
Connecting a battery charger
Both battery leads must be
disconnected (engine switched off).
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running. Follow the
instructions for use given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Only a well-charged and
well-maintained battery will have a
long and useful life and enable you
to start the vehicle’s engine
normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
Have the battery's charge status
checked regularly:
• Especially if you use your vehicle
for short journeys or for frequent
driving in the town;
• When the external temperature
drops (in winter), the charge
declines. In winter, only use those
electrical consumers which are
really necessary.
• Finally, you should understand
that the charge decreases
naturally as a result of certain
“permanent consumers” such as:
the clock, after sales accessories...
When a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them
connected to + after ignition.Inthis
case, it is advisable to have your
vehicle fitted with a battery which
has an increased nominal capacity.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer.
If the vehicle is to be left stationary
for a long time, disconnect the
battery and recharge it regularly,
especially in cold weather. The
memories, radio etc. will then have
to be reprogrammed. The battery
must be stored in a dry and
ventilated area protected from frost.
Specific procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Consult
your 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.
