Battery standby system
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
If the vehicle is not to be used for a prolonged
period, such as for winter storage, for example,
it is strongly recommended that the battery
be placed on standby in order to protect it and
optimise its service life.
This time is necessary to:
-
Allow the user to get out of the vehicle and
lock the doors with the remote control.
Ensure that all of the vehicle's electrical
systems are deactivated.
When parking on a slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.

In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is moving,
apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid
locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding).
When the battery is on standby, access to
the vehicle is only possible by unlocking
the vehicle using the key in the lock barrel
in the driver's door.
After the battery is switched off, the
information (time, date, radio stations,
etc.) is stored.
To take the battery out of standby:
F Turn the key to the MAR position.
F Start the engine normally (AVV position).
To place the battery on standby:
F Switch off the engine (STOP position).
