Warning
G
Only charge the battery in well-ventilated
areas. As the battery is being charged,
gases can escape and generate minor ex-
plosions, which can injure you and others
and may cause damage to the paintwork
or permit acid corrosion on the vehicle.
During the charge procedure, there is a
risk of acid burns due to gases escaping
from the battery. Do not, therefore, lean
over the battery while it is being re-
charged.
i
It is also possible to charge the start-
er battery using the jump-starting
connection point in the engine com-
partment (

Reconnecting the battery
! CAUTION
Never swap the terminal clamps.
Otherwise, the vehicle’s electronics
system may be damaged. After re-
connecting the battery, you must re-
set the electric sliding door*
