Connecting a charger to the
accessories socket
Only use a charger that is compatible
with a nominal voltage of 14.4 volts
and a current limited to 5 amps.
With the ignition switched on, plug
the power supply into the accessories
socket 10 located in the storage com-
partment 11. Please contact an author-
ised dealer.
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. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
12 VOLT BATTERY (3/3)
Recharging the 12 volt
battery
It is difficult to access the 12 volt bat-
tery. It is therefore recommended that
you attach the vehicle plug to a power
source: energy is supplied to both the
12 volt battery and the traction battery
at the same time.
Please refer to the information on
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section 1.
Immobilising the vehicle for an
extended period of time
Before keeping the vehicle unused for
an extended period of time, you are
recommended to plug your vehicle into
a power supply for 24 hours.
If you plan not to use the vehicle for more
than one month, unplug the 60 amp cir-
cuit breaker fuse for the entire period.
This will enable you to maintain the per-
formance of your 12 volt battery.
Please see the information on “Fuses”
in Section 5.
Remember to replace the 60 amp fuse
before using the vehicle.
Do not use booster cables
to start the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

ing.
