Dacia Jogger
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that any power consumers (courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting a battery;
- when charging, switch off the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery;
- do not place any metal objects on the battery as this may create a short circuit across the terminals;
- always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery;
- make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.
warning
Before carrying out any action in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with key or Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with card.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.
warning
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your approved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.
warning
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid which must not come into contact with the eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.
Keep any flames, red hot objects or sparks away from the battery components (risk of explosion).
Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The
label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery on another vehicle to start your vehicle, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from an approved dealer or, if you already have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition before using.
The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage: 12 V. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuit when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supplying the current and run it at an intermediate engine speed.
Note: on the Hybrid version, as the battery cannot be directly accessed, it is necessary to use the remote terminals located in the engine compartment.
tip
Do not use your Hybrid vehicle to restart a "12 Volt" battery in another vehicle. The electrical power in the secondary "12 V" battery of an Hybrid vehicle is not sufficient for this operation.
Risk of damage to the vehicle.
"12 V" battery in the engine compartment
(combustion version)
Attach the positive cable (+) A to terminal (+) 1 of the discharged battery, then to terminal (+) 2 of the battery supplying the current.
Attach the negative cable (˗) B to terminal (˗) 3 of the battery supplying the current and then to terminal (˗) 4 or, depending on the vehicle, (˗) 5 of the discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as the engine starts running, disconnect cables A and B in reverse order (4 - 3 - 2 - 1) or, depending on the vehicle, (5 - 3 - 2 - 1).
warning
Ensure that there is no contact between cables A and B and that positive cable A is not in contact with any metallic component in the vehicle supplying the current.
Risk of serious injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
tip
Depending on the vehicle, in the event of a battery fault (disconnected, discharged battery, etc.), the power-assisted steering wheel angle must be reset Steering.
The secondary "12 V" battery at the rear of the vehicle
(Hybrid version)
The battery is not directly accessible.
Use terminal 6 (+) and terminal 7 (˗) in the engine compartment.
Note: open the cover 8 of terminal 6 (+) by pressing the button 9 in the direction indicated by the arrow.
warning
It is forbidden to disconnect the positive cable in the engine compartment.
Risk of the engine starting inadvertently.
Risk of burns by projection of sparks.
Attach the positive cable C to terminal 6 (+), then to terminal10 (+) of the battery supplying the current.
Attach the negative cable D to terminal 11 (˗) of the battery supplying the current and then to terminal 7 (˗).
Press the brake pedal and the Start button. Once the engine has started, disconnect cables C and D in reverse order (6- 10 - 11 - 7).
Each time you have used the cover 8, check that the cover of terminal 13 is attached correctly to its tab 12.
warning
Ensure that there is no contact between cables C and D and that the positive cable C is not in contact with any metallic component in the vehicle supplying the current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
