The battery 1 does not require maintenance. You should not open it or add any fluid.

warning

Handle the battery 1 with care as it contains sulphuric acid which must not come into contact with the eyes or the skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water and consult a doctor, if necessary.

Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery elements: risk of explosion.

Depending on the vehicle, a system continuously checks the battery charge status. If this decreases, the "12V battery backup mode" message appears on the instrument panel followed by "Battery Low Start Engine". In this case, start the engine, drive the vehicle or wait until the message disappears from the instrument panel.

Note: the "12V battery backup mode" message may appear after five to 30 minutes of vehicle use with the engine stopped, warning you that comfort functions (interior lighting, radio, navigation, ventilation, accessories power supply, etc.) may be automatically switched off.

Your battery charging status may diminish, especially if you are using your vehicle:

  • for short trips;
  • in an urban area;
  • when the temperature is low;
  • after extended use of energy-consuming devices (radio, etc.) with the engine off.
warning

The engine must be switched off (not put on standby) before any operation is carried out in the engine compartment.

You must switch off the ignition Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with card.

warning

Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The 2_ALL_290_1_pictogramme.png label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.
