! Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with the eyes or skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. If necessary, consult a doctor. Keep any flame, incandescent material and sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion.

Depending on the vehicle, a system continuously monitors the battery charge state.

With the ignition off, certain consumers may be switched off (dipped headlights, radio, ventilation, etc.). On the instrument panel, this switch-off is accompanied by the messages “battery saving mode” or “eco battery”. When the level becomes critical, the message “low battery, start engine” is displayed.

The battery charge state may decrease, especially if you use your vehicle:

  • on short journeys;
  • in urban driving;
  • when the temperature drops...;
  • vehicle stationary, engine off.
