WARNING

■

When you charge a battery, hydrogen is released, and a highly explosive

gas mixture is also produced. An explosion can be caused through sparkling

over during unclamping or loosening of the cable plug while the ignition is

on.

■

Creating a bridge between the poles on the battery (e.g. with metal ob-

jects - cables) creates a short circuit - risk of damage to the battery, explo-

sion and burning of the battery, jets of acid spurting out.

■

Avoid creating sparks when working with cables and electrical devices.

Strong sparking represents a risk of injury.

■

Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, switch off the en-

gine, the ignition and all electrical consumers and disconnect the negative

terminal



■

“Quick-charging” the vehicle battery is dangerous and requires a special

charger and specialist knowledge.

■

We therefore recommend that vehicle batteries be “rapidly charged” by a

specialist garage.

CAUTION

On vehicles with the START-STOP system, the pole terminal of the charger

must not be connected directly to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery,

but only to the engine earth » page 127.

Replace

Read and observe and on page 111 first.

The new vehicle battery must have the same capacity, voltage, current and

size as the original battery. Suitable vehicle battery types can be purchased

from a specialist garage.

We recommend having the battery replaced by a specialist garage, where the

new vehicle battery will be installed properly and the original battery will be

disposed of in accordance with national regulations.

CAUTION

■

Disconnect the vehicle battery only with the ignition turned off - there is a

risk of damaging the electrical system of the vehicle.

■

Under no circumstances must the battery cables be connected incorrectly –

risk of a cable fire.

Note

■

After disconnecting and re-connecting the vehicle battery, we recommend

having the vehicle checked by a specialist to ensure that the full functionality

of all electrical systems is guaranteed.

■

The data of the multi-function display will be reset.

Automatic load deactivation

Read and observe

and on page 111 first.

The vehicle voltage control unit automatically prevents the battery from dis-

charging when the battery is put under high levels of strain. This manifests it-

self by the following.

›

The idling speed is raised to allow the generator to deliver more electricity to

the electrical system.

›

Where necessary, large convenience consumers such as seat heaters and

rear window heaters have their power limited or are shut off completely in

the event of an emergency.

Inspecting and replenishing

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
