with manual gearbox and AGM

with automatic gearbox.
When replacing the support battery, a bat-
tery of AGM type must be fitted.
NOTE
•
The higher the current take-off in the
car, the more the alternator must be
working and the batteries charging =
Increased fuel consumption.
•
When the capacity of the starter bat-
tery has fallen below the lowest per-
missible level then the Start/Stop func-
tion is disengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
•
The engine starts automatically

without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal
(manual gearbox).
•
The engine starts automatically without
the driver lifting his/her foot off the foot
brake pedal (automatic gearbox).
