If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.
Open flap A. Press the bottom of clip 1

and pull simultaneously on flap A to

remove it and access the fuses.

Tweezers 2

Remove the fuse using tweezers 2, lo-

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.

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.

Use the fuse allocation label in storage

compartment A to identify the fuses.
Certain fuses should only be replaced

by a qualified professional. These fuses

are not listed on the label.

12 VOLT BATTERY: troubleshooting

(1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any consumers (cour-

tesy lights, etc.) are switched off

before disconnecting or reconnect-

ing the battery;

– when charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery;

– to avoid creating a short circuit be-

tween the terminals, do not place

metal objects on the battery;

– always wait at least one minute after

the engine has been switched off

before disconnecting a battery;

– make sure that you reconnect the

battery terminals after refitting.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the

engine is running. Follow the instruc-

tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.

Special procedures may be

required to charge some

batteries. Contact your au-

thorised 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.
Please note when working close to

the engine that it may be hot. In ad-

dition, the engine cooling fan may

start at any moment. The



warning light in the engine compart-

ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off (please see

the information on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).

5.30

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.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact

between the two vehicles (risk of short

circuiting when the positive terminals

are connected) and that the discharged

battery is properly connected. Switch

off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-

ing the current and run it at a moderate

speed.

terminal 4 ( – ) of the battery supply-

ing the current then to the metal cable 2

( – ) of the discharged battery.
Start the engine, and as soon as it starts

running, disconnect cables A and B in

reverse order ( 2 - 4 - 5 - 3).

ACCESSORIES

Electrical and electronic accessories

Before installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, po-

sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.

Connect accessories with a maximum power of 120 Watts only. Fire hazard. When several accessory sockets are

used at the same time, the total power of the connected accessories must not exceed 180 watts.

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.

Using the diagnostic socket

The use of electronic accessories on the diagnostic socket may cause serious disturbance to the vehicle’s electronic systems.

For your safety we recommend that you use only electronic accessories approved by the manufacturer, consult an Approved

Dealer. Serious accident risk.

Use of transmitting/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 aftermarket 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. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.

locked in place. Lower the windscreen

wiper arm carefully.
With the ignition on, return the wind-

screen wiper stalk to the stop position.

The blade on the driver’s side must

always be above the passenger blade.

If this is not the case, a quick sweep of

the windscreen wipers should be per-

formed once the vehicle is travelling at

over 4 mph (7 km/h).

– In frosty weather, make

sure that the wiper blades

are not stuck by ice (to

avoid the risk of the motor

overheating or damaging the

blades).

–

Check the condition of the wiper

blades.

Replace the wiper blades as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency

(approximately once a year).

Whilst changing the blade, take care

not to drop the arm onto the window

after it has been removed as this

may break the window.

Note: before restarting your vehicle,

lower the windscreen wiper blades

onto the windscreen to avoid any risk

of damaging the bonnet or the wipers.
