Battery
The vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Battery Sensor (IBS), which is able to measure
the charge and discharge voltage, calculate
the charge level and the general condition of
the battery. The sensor is placed next to the
negative terminal (-) of the battery.
For a correct charge/discharge procedure, the
charge voltage must go through the IBS
sensor.
1. Turn the charger on and follow the instruc
-
tions in the user's manual to completely
recharge the battery.
2. When the battery is charged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery.
3. Disconnect the black cable terminal of the
battery charger and then the red cable
terminal.
4. Refit the protective cover of the positive
terminal of the battery and the access
cover to the battery compartment.
NOTE:
If a "quick-type" battery charger is used with
the battery fitted on the vehicle, before
connecting it disconnect both cables of the
battery itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.
