Battery

Depending on the vehicle, the battery is located in the engine compartment or in the boot.

In all cases, it requires no maintenance.

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

If the level drops, the message "Battery low, start engine" is displayed on the instrument panel. In this case, start the engine. The message "Battery charging" then appears on the instrument panel.

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

• on short journeys;
• in urban driving;

When working near the engine, it may be hot. In addition, the cooling fan may start at any time.
