In the event of a breakdown
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a
long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
F Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F Switch off the ignition and wait for
4
minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.

Disconnecting the (+) terminal
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
F Depending on equipment, lift the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
F
Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
F
Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
F Raise lever A fully.
F
Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
F
Push clamp B fully down.
F
Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
F
Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1
minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact a
dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise certain systems, such
as:
- the electronic key,
-
the electric windows,
-
the date and time,
-
the preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
next engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a
continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8
hours).
