The function of auxiliary batteries

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Battery

In this video, we are explained in detail what the function of an auxiliary battery is. Not always the main battery is sufficient to power all the devices on modern cars; therefore, the auxiliary battery is not secondary to the main battery, but is an important reserve of energy; for example, when we are stopped at a traffic light, the main battery will take care of starting the car when the light turns green, but it is the auxiliary battery that keeps all the auxiliary devices of the car on, whether they are for comfort, safety, or infotainment. It is important to check the efficiency of the auxiliary battery, which, if not sufficiently charged, may require the continuous intervention of the alternator, increasing fuel consumption.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
