Position of the battery circuit breaker
The battery circuit breaker is located directly by the passenger
seat.
A circuit breaker has been installed to protect the modular
battery from being exhaustively discharged when the van is
not being used. When the switch is opened, the modular bat
-
tery is completed disconnected from the 12 V mains. "Off"
position = disconnected from 12V mains.
The battery circuit breaker must be on when using the
vehicle home and whilst driving.
When the circuit breaker is open, the electrical input
stage will not engage automatically.
If the battery circuit breaker has been switched on for a
longer period of time, you may lose your customised radio
and/or sat nav device settings. These settings must then
be entered again.
The battery charger is directly connected to the ancillary bat-
tery so that the ancillary and starter batteries can be charged
even if the battery circuit breaker is switched on.
To keep the batteries charged even when not in use, it is
mandatory that the vehicle be connected to a 230V mains
connection every 6 weeks. Recharging should be carried out
for at least 24 hours.
