This is located behind step A and does not require maintenance. You should not open it or add any fluid.

Depending on the vehicle, a system continuously checks the battery charge status.

When the ignition is off, some consumers may also be switched off (dipped beam headlights, radio, ventilation, etc.). On the instrument panel, the message “BATTERY MODE: ECONOMY” appears when switched off. When the level is extremely low, the message “BATTERY LOW START ENGINE” is displayed.

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

- for short journeys;

- for driving in town;

- when the temperature drops;

- with the vehicle stopped and the engine off.
