Electrical equipment — general information (Renault Fluence 1)

The electrical system consists of a battery, generator, starter, electrical consumers and electrical circuits.

Lighting devices include headlights, taillights, fog lights, direction indicators and warning lights, license plate lights and interior lights.

The battery is charged by a generator, which is driven by a belt from the crankshaft pulley.

The starter is a DC electric motor with an electromagnetic traction relay. When starting, the traction relay engages the pinion with the flywheel ring gear before the starter receives power from the battery. After the engine starts, the freewheel clutch disconnects the crankcase anchor from the flywheel ring gear. It should be noted that to prevent short circuits and burns, when working with any element of the car's electrical equipment, always disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
