Batt
ery acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and eye protection.

The battery should only be charged in a
well-ventilated zone. Risk of explosion!
Keep children away from acid and the
battery.

If the vehicle is not used for long periods
The v
ehicle has a system for monitoring the
current consumption when the engine is left un-
used for extended periods of time. Some func-
tions, such as the interior lights, or the remote
door opening, may be temporarily disabled to
prevent the battery from running flat. These
functions will come back on as soon as the igni-
tion is switched on and the engine started.
