In the event of a breakdown
► Push clamp B fully down.
► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
► After reconnecting the 12 V battery, perform
the automatic reset procedures of the
electronic systems and manual reset of some
equipment.
For more information on Following
reconnection, refer to the corresponding
section.
Do not force the lever when pressing on it,
as if the clamp is not positioned correctly,
locking will then not be possible.
Starting using another battery
Start the procedure again.
The hybrid system starts the vehicle, but a
12 V supply is required. There are several
reasons why the vehicle cannot be started.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
If the 12 V battery is flat, the 12 V power supply
can be ensured using a backup battery (either
external or from another vehicle) and jump leads
or using a battery booster or using a battery
charger.
In this case, the system will only be available
again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery B or of the
booster.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or
of the booster (or to an earth point on the
assisting vehicle).
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.
For hybrid versions
► Connect the other end of the green or black

battery or for charging a discharged battery (12
V or 48 V).
cable to the earth point C.
► Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
► Access to the 12 V battery.
► Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
For more information on Accessing the battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
► If necessary, perform the 12 V battery
disconnection/reconnection procedure.
► Wait for it to return to idle.
► Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
► Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
For more information on Disconnecting/
Reconnecting the battery, refer to the
corresponding section.
