Battery: Description and Operation

Battery and Cables

Component Location









BATTERY
Diesel variants use a 90 Ah/950 A EN battery.
Petrol variants use a 90 Ah/800 A EN battery, cold climate markets use a 90 Ah/950 A EN battery.
The battery is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side. It sits in a tray and is secured with clamp plates and bolts.
The battery terminal posts allow for the battery cables to be connected with clamp type connections.
When removing the battery, ensure the alarm is disarmed and the ignition is switched off. Always disconnect the negative terminal first and then the positive. When refitting the battery, always fit the positive terminal first followed by the negative.
If the battery requires recharging, always use an approved constant current charger, designed for lead-calcium batteries. DO NOT use a fast charger, as permanent damage to the battery may occur.

Transportation Relay





During production of the vehicle a transportation relay is installed on the battery positive terminal, to minimize battery drain during vehicle storage and delivery. The transportation relay provides a convenient method of disconnecting power from all of the electrical systems on the vehicle, but allows power to be easily restored to start and drive the vehicle during loading, unloading and storage.
To start the vehicle when a transportation relay is installed press the hazard warning switch, this activates the transportation relay to power up and allow's the engine to be started. If the ignition is turned on but the engine is not started the vehicle will return transportation mode after 15 seconds.
The transportation relay must be removed from the vehicle prior to customer handover.

JUNCTION BOXES
A number of junction boxes are used to distribute power throughout the vehicle. For more information on fuse ratings and circuits protected, refer to the Electrical Circuit Diagrams.

Battery Junction Box 2
The BJB 2 is mounted on the engine bulkhead, behind the battery.

Battery Junction Box
The BJB (battery junction box) is located in the engine compartment, on the RH (right-hand) side of the engine compartment. The BJB (battery junction box) receives its main power supply from the battery via the CJB (central junction box) and contains fusible links, blade fuses and relays.

Central Junction Box
The CJB (central junction box) is located behind the glove box and receives its main power supply from the battery. The CJB (central junction box) contains fusible links, blade fuses and relays. The side of the engine compartment. The CJB (central junction box) also provides the main power supply to the BJB (battery junction box) and the rear junction box.

Rear Junction Box
The rear junction box is located on the RH (right-hand) side of the luggage compartment, behind the side trim casing. The rear junction box contains blade fuses and relays, and receives its main power supply from the CJB (central junction box).
