Kadjar FUSES
If any electrical component does not work, check the condition of the fuses.
Fuses in passenger compartment A or B on the left-hand side of the vehicle
Unclip the cover A using a screwdriver or similar.
Open the glovebox and unclip the flap B.
In accordance with local legislation or as a precautionary measure:
obtain an emergency kit containing a set of spare bulbs and fuses from an approved Dealer.
Fuses in passenger compartment C on the right-hand side of the vehicle
Unclip the cover C using a screwdriver or similar.
Use the fuse allocation label in the stor-age compartments A, B or C to identify the fuses.
Certain fuses should only be replaced by a qualified professional. These fuses are not listed on the label.
Only change the fuses represented on the label.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, by a fuse of the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the electrical circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using an excessive amount of current.

BATTERY: troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure that any consumers (courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery;
- when charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery;
- to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals, do not place metal objects on the battery;
- 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.
Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off (please see the information on “Starting, stop-ping the engine” in Section 2).
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be compatible with a battery with a nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc-tions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap-proved dealer.
Avoid all risks of sparks that may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Risk of serious injury.
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 naked flames, red hot objects and sparks away from the battery components as there is a 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
warning light 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 from another vehicle to start, 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.
The two batteries must have an identical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) that is at least the same as that of the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short-circuiting 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 a moderate speed.
Lift the cover and then the red terminal cap 1 (+).
Connect the positive cable A to the terminal 1 (+), then to the terminal 4 (+) of the battery supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable B to terminal 3 (–) of the battery supplying the current and then to terminal 2 (–).
Start the engine, and as soon as it starts running, disconnect cables A and B in reverse order ( 2 – 3 – 4 – 1).
Check that there is no contact between leads A and B and that the positive lead A is not touching any metal parts on the vehicle supplying the current.
Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
