Additional lights

If you wish to fit fog lights or long range

headlights to your vehicle, consult an

authorised dealer.

Any operation on (or modi-

fication to) the electrical

system must be performed

by an approved dealer

since an incorrect connection might

damage the electrical equipment

(harness, components and in partic-

ular the alternator). In addition, your

Dealer has all the parts required for

fitting these units.

If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip flap A for left-hand drive vehicles

or B for right-hand drive vehicles.

Tweezers 1

Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-

cated at the back of cover A or B.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,

slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.

Check the fuse in question

and

replace it, if neces-

sary,

by a fuse of the same

rating.

If a fuse is fitted where the rating is

too high, it may cause the electrical

circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the

event of an item of equipment using

an excessive amount of current.

FUsEs

In accordance with local legislation

or as a precautionary measure:
Obtain an emergency kit containing

a set of spare bulbs and fuses from

an approved Dealer.

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Switch off the vehicle ignition.

– Ensure that any electrical consumers

(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched

off before disconnecting or recon-

necting the battery.

– When charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery.

– Do not place metal objects on the

battery to avoid creating a short cir-

cuit between the terminals.

– Make sure that you reconnect the

battery terminals after refitting.

12 volt battery: troubleshooting

12 VOLT BATTErY: breakdown recovery

(1/2)

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.
Before disconnecting the battery, check

that:

– the ignition is switched off;

– the gear control should be in posi-

tion

P (please refer to the information

on the “Gear control” in Section 2;

– the charging cable is disconnected.

Special procedures may be

required to charge some

batteries. Contact your ap-

proved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may

cause an immediate explosion, and

charge the battery in a well-venti-

lated area. Risk of serious injury.

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.
The engine may be hot when car-

rying out operations in close prox-

imity. In addition, the engine cooling

fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Disconnect the leads connected to both

battery terminals,

starting with the

negative terminal.
Follow the instructions given by the

manufacturer of the battery charger

you are using.

Do not work on the 12 volt

battery (charging, replac-

ing, etc.):
– without switching off the

ignition;

– if your traction battery is charg-

ing.

Please refer to the information

on “Electric vehicle: charging” in

Section 1.
Risk of serious injury.

Attach positive lead A to mounting 1

attached to (+) terminal 2 then to

(+)

terminal 3 of the battery supplying

the current.
Attach the negative lead B to the

(– )

terminal 4 of the battery supplying

the current, then to the (–)

terminal 5

of the discharged battery.

starting the vehicle using the

battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from an-

other vehicle to start, obtain suitable

jump leads (with a large cross section)

from an approved dealer or, if you al-

ready have jump leads, ensure that

they are in perfect condition.

The two batteries must have an iden-

tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The

battery supplying the current should

have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which

is at least the same as that of the dis-

charged battery.

Switch off your vehicle ignition. Ensure

that there is no risk of contact between

the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting

when the positive terminals are con-

nected) and that the discharged battery

is properly connected.

Start the engine of the vehicle supply-

ing the current and run it at an interme-

diate engine speed.

12 VOLT BATTErY: breakdown recovery

(2/2)

Check that there is no con-

tact between leads A and B

and that the positive lead A

is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying the

current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the

vehicle.

Do not use your electric vehicle to restart the 12 volt battery in a conventional

vehicle. The 12 volt electric power of an electric vehicle is not enough to perform

such an operation.

Risk of damage to vehicle

As soon as it starts, disconnect

cables A and B in reverse order (5 - 4

- 3 - 2).

Do not touch the battery or the contact

strips with your fingers. Use a soft cloth.

Do not dispose of your used

batteries in the countryside.

Give them to an organisa-

tion that collects and recy-

cles used batteries.

Batteries can be obtained from your

approved Dealer.
These batteries should have a serv-

Electrical and electronic accessories

Before installing this type of accessory, make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. You can get advice from an au-

thorised dealer.

To install an accessory requiring intervention with the vehicle’s 12 V electrical circuit, please follow these instructions:

– disconnect the charging cord from the traction battery;

– switch off the ignition;

– disconnect the 12 V battery.

risk of serious injury.
Connect accessories with a maximum power of 120 watts only.

Fire hazard.

No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorrectly connected

system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to it.

If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.

Establish the rating and position of this fuse.

Use of transmission/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).

Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interference to the electronic systems originally fitted to the

vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial.

Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform

to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.

Fitting after-market accessories

If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an authorised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of

your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for your

vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty.

If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal.
Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regu-

larly. Do not lay one mat on top of another.

With the ignition on and the engine

switched off, lower the windscreen

wiper stalk completely: they stop

slightly away from the bonnet.

Lift wiper arm 3, pull tab 2 (move-

ment A) and push the blade upwards.
To refit

Slide the blade along the arm until it

clips on. Make sure that the blade is

correctly locked in position. Return the

windscreen wiper stalk to the park po-

sition.

Keep monitoring the condition of the

wiper blades. How long they last de-

pends on you:

– clean the blades and the wind-

screen regularly with soapy

water;

– do not use them when the wind-

screen is dry;

– free them from the windscreen

when they have not been used

for a long time.

– In frosty weather, make

sure that the wiper blades

are not stuck by ice (to

avoid the risk of the motor

overheating).

– Check the condition of the wiper

blades.

They should be replaced as soon

as they become less efficient: ap-

proximately once a year.

When changing the blade, when it

has been removed, do not let the

wiper arm fall against the window:

risk of breaking the window.
