In the event of a breakdown
8Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12
V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►

Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery

A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point


C
.
►

Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►


Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately

, switch

►

Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►


Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►


Allow the engine to run for at least
30

minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Drive cautiously during the first 30
minutes after starting the engine.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–

using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–


if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12

V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►

Switch off the ignition.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

180
In the event of a breakdown
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available
again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified workshop
who will verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is
taken out of service for a long period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
►

Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►


Switch off the ignition and wait for 4
minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
