Battery

Akumulator

Battery 1 is maintenance-free. Do not open it or add any fluid.

Handle the battery with care, as it contains sulphuric acid, which is very dangerous if it comes into contact with skin or eyes. If this occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If necessary, consult a doctor.

Keep open flames and any glowing or sparking objects at a safe distance from the battery, as there is a risk of explosion.

Battery replacement

As this procedure is complex, we recommend contacting an Authorised Renault Partner.

Before any work in the engine compartment, always switch off the engine by pressing the stop button (see the section "Starting and switching off the engine" in chapter 2). As the battery is of a special type, it must be replaced with a battery of equivalent specification. Contact an Authorised Renault Partner.
