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

Depending on the vehicle, a system continuously checks the battery charge status. If this decreases, the message “Battery low start engine” is displayed on the instrument panel. In this case, start the engine. The message will go off.

The charge status of your battery can decrease especially if you use your vehicle:

- for short journeys;

- for driving in town;

- when the temperature drops;

- after extended use of energy-consuming devices (radio, etc.) with the engine switched off.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid which must not come into contact with the 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.

Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off (please see the information on “Starting, stopping the engine” in Section 2).

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