BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Td5 models
The battery is designed to be maintenance
free, so topping-up is not possible. On the top
of the battery there is a battery condition
indicator (arrowed in illustration). Examine the
indicator periodically to check the battery’s
condition. When the indicator shows:
GREEN - the battery is in a good state of
charge.
DARK (turning to black) - the battery
needs charging.
CLEAR (or light yellow) - the battery must
be replaced. Do not charge the battery or
jump start the vehicle in this condition.
If the green dot is missing, the battery
needs charging.
NOTE: When checking the battery condition
indicator, if necessary, clean the battery top to
ensure a clear view. Use a torch if natural light
is poor.
If the indicator shows clear or yellow, tap the
indicator with the handle of a screwdriver to
disperse any air bubbles. If the indicator
colour is unchanged, the battery must be
replaced.
Tdi and petrol models
The battery fitted to your vehicle requires
minimal attention as follows:
In temperate climates check the electrolyte
level once every 3 years. In hot climates
check the level annually.
Occasionally wipe the battery casing to
remove dirt and grease.
Keep the battery terminals clean and free
from corrosion by occasionally smearing
them with petroleum jelly.
Checking the electrolyte level
Gently prise off the vent covers (or unscrew if
vent plugs are fitted) and inspect the
electrolyte level of the centre cell. This should
be no lower than 1 mm (0.04 in) above the
top of the plates. If necessary, top up with
distilled water to a maximum of 3 mm (0.12
in) above the plates.
