CONTROL UNITS
When the car is being used nor-
mally, special measures are not nec-
essary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully, however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– Never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system while the engine
is running.
– Disconnect the battery from the
electrical system if you are recharging
it. The modern battery chargers can
discharge voltage up to 20V.
– Never perform emergency start–
ups with a battery charger. Always
use an auxiliary battery.
– Be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electrical
system. Make sure that the polarity is
correct and that the connection is ef-
ficient.
