allows sufficient charging of the battery.

Short-distance driving and frequent

engine starts can discharge the battery.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics

and painted surfaces.

Fill with clean water mixed with a suitable

quantity of approved windscreen washer

fluid that contains antifreeze.

Batteries do not belong in household

waste. They must be disposed of at an

appropriate recycling collection point.

Not using the vehicle for more than four

weeks can lead to battery discharge.

Disconnect the clamp from the negative

terminal of the vehicle battery.

Caution

Only washer fluid with a sufficient

antifreeze concentration provides

protection at low temperatures or a

sudden drop in temperature.

Ensure the ignition is switched off before

connecting or disconnecting the vehicle

battery.
