12 V battery

Introduction

The 12 V battery supplies the energy required to operate vehicle equipment (lights, windscreen wipers, audio system, etc.) and certain safety systems such as braking assistance.
You should not open it or add any fluid.
WARNING
Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.

Maintenance/replacement

The 12 V battery charge level 1 may decrease, especially if you use your vehicle:
  • when the outside temperature drops;
  • after extended use of energy-consuming devices with the engine switched off.
WARNING
For your own safety and to ensure the proper operation of the vehicle's electrical equipment (lights, windscreen wipers, ABS, etc.), any operation on the 12 V battery (removal, disconnection, etc.) must be performed by a qualified specialist.
Risk of serious burns or electric shocks.
You must respect the replacement intervals (without exceeding them) as stated in the maintenance document.
The battery is a specific type. Please ensure it is replaced with the same type.
Call an approved Dealer.
WARNING
The electric vehicle's drive system uses high-voltage electric current.
This system can get hot during and after switching off the ignition.
Respect warning messages given on the labels in the vehicle.
Any operation or modification on the vehicle's "high voltage" electrical system (components, cables, connectors, traction battery) is strictly prohibited.
The risk of serious burns or electric shocks can lead to death.
The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
