Practical tips
The electrolyte level should be checked reg-
ularly in high-mileage vehicles, in hot coun-
tries and in older batteries.
Open the bonnet and then lift the cover
that protects the front part of the battery
in Working in the engine compart-
ment on page 289.
Check the colour display in the "magic eye"
on the top of the battery.
If there are air bubbles in the window, tap
the window gently until they disperse.
The position of the battery is shown in the
corresponding engine compartment dia-
gram
page 291 .
The “magic eye” indicator, located on the
top of the battery changes colour, depend-
ing on the charge state and electrolyte level
of the battery.
There are two different colours:
The battery's electro-
lyte level is too low. Go to a specialised
workshop to have the battery checked
and replaced if necessary.
The battery’s electrolyte level is cor-
rect.

Charging or changing the battery
If you often drive short distances or if the ve-
hicle is not driven for long periods, the bat-
tery should be checked by a specialised
workshop between the scheduled services.
If the battery has discharged and you have
problems starting the vehicle, the battery
might be damaged. If this happens, we rec-
ommend you have the vehicle battery
checked by a Technical Service where it will
be re-charged or replaced.
Charging the battery
The vehicle battery should be charged by a
specialised workshop only, as batteries using
special technology have been installed and
they must be charged in a controlled envi-
ronment.
Replacing a vehicle battery
The battery has been developed to suit the
conditions of its location and has special
safety features. If the battery must be re-
placed, consult a technical service for infor-
mation on electromagnetic compatibility,
the size and maintenance, performance and
safety requirements of the new battery in
your vehicle before you purchase one. CU-
PRA recommends you have the battery re-
placed by a technical service.
Start-Stop systems (
page 205 ) are equip-
ped with a special battery. Therefore, it must
only be replaced with a battery of the same
specifications.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent
power management system to control the
distribution of electrical energy
page 301. The power management func-
tion ensures that the battery is charged
much more efficiently than on vehicles with-
out a power management system. To main-
tain this function after replacing the battery,
we recommend that the replacement bat-
tery used is of the same make and type as
the original fitted battery. To make proper
use of the power management function after
the battery has been changed, have the bat-
tery coded to the power management mode
at a specialised workshop.
WARNING
Always use only maintenance free batter-
ies that do not run flat alone and whose
properties, specifications and size corre-
spond to the standard battery. The specifi-
cations are indicated on the battery case.
Before starting any work on the batteries,
you must read and observe the warnings
in General information on page 298.
For the sake of the environment
Batteries contain toxic substances such
as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be
