12 VOLT BATTERY: breakdown recovery

(1/2)

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.

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 is in position P

(please see the information on “Gear

control”;

– 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.

5.23

12 VOLT BATTERY: breakdown recovery

(2/2)

Check that there is no contact between

the cables A and B and that the (+)

cable A is not touching any metal parts

on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the motor, then disconnect

cables A and B in reverse order (4-3-

2-1).

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: 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 motor of the vehicle supplying

the current and run it at an intermediate

engine speed.

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.

Connect the positive cable (+) A to the

(+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery,

then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery

supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable (–) B to the

(–) 3 terminal of the battery supplying

the current and then to the (–) 4 termi-

nal of the discharged battery.

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

5.24

To comply with local legislation, or

as a precaution, you can obtain an

emergency kit containing a set of

spare bulbs and fuses from an ap-

proved Dealer.

FUSES

(1/2)

Fuse box

If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover A.

To locate the fuses, please see the fol-

lowing page.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.
Some functions are protected by fuses

located in the engine compartment.

However, because of their reduced ac-

cessibility, it is recommended to have

these fuses replaced by an autho-

rised dealer.

Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with 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.

Tweezers 1

Remove the fuse using tweezers 1, lo-

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

slide the fuse to the side.

Choice of breakdown service

In the event of an energy fault

In the event of a fully discharged trac-

tion battery, any type of towing is per-

mitted: towing on a flatbed truck or

towing on the road using the tow eye

(please see following pages).

All other cases
Only towing on a flatbed truck is per-

mitted.

TOWING, BREAKDOWN

(1/3)

Before repairs, insert the key in the igni-

tion to unlock the steering column. Turn

it to position M.
The regulations in force for breakdown

recovery must always be observed.

Towing on a flatbed truck

Breakdown recovery must be per-

formed on a flat surface under all cir-

cumstances except where the vehicle

is immobilised following a full discharge

of the traction battery. In the event of a

total energy loss, please see the follow-

ing pages.

5.29

Bring lever to position N.

TOWING, BREAKDOWN

(2/3)

In the event of an energy

fault: towing

In the event of a fully discharged trac-

tion battery:
– the warning light

flashes;

– needle 1 is in the lower section of the

reserve zone.

It is possible to recover on a flatbed

truck or tow the vehicle using the tow

eye, following the instructions below.

When the engine is

stopped, steering and brak-

ing assistance are not op-

erational.

Before towing, insert the key in the

switch to unlock the steering column.

Turn it to position M.
The column is unlocked, the acces-

sory functions are supplied: the vehi-

cle lights can be used (hazard warn-

ing lights, brake lights etc.). The towed

vehicle’s lights must be switched on at

night.
The speed specified by current legis-

lation for towing must always be ob-

served.

If the lever is stuck in P,

even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal,

the lever can be released

manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the

base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on mark 2 and

on the unlocking button on the lever.

TOWING, BREAKDOWN

(3/3)

Do not leave the tools unse-

cured inside the vehicle as

they may come loose under

braking.

After use, check that all the tools

are correctly clipped into the tool kit,

then, depending on the vehicle, po-

sition it correctly in its housing.

Risk of injury.

Only use the front and rear towing

points (never use the driveshafts).

These towing points may only be used

for towing: never use them for lifting the

vehicle directly or indirectly.

Access to towing points

Unclip cover 3 or 5.
Tighten the tow eye 4 fully: as much

as possible by hand at first, then finish

tightening it using the wheelbrace or,

depending on the vehicle, the lever.
The towing eye 4 and wheelbrace or

lever are stored in the toolbox in the

boot (please see “Tools” in section 5).

Do not remove the key from

the ignition when the vehi-

cle is being towed.
