the corresponding direction indicators will flash
three times.This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.
Automatic illumination of
headlampsIf you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 40
mph (60 km/h).When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They can also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.

Practical information

178
12 V battery
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access:
F

O
pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch.
F

S
ecure the bonnet stay.
F

R
emove the plastic cover on the (+)
terminal.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine.
Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
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 the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a battery booster.
In the event of a breakdown

179
F Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
F

C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of flat battery A (at the metal
elbow) then to the positive terminal (+) of
backup battery B or the booster.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of backup
battery B or the booster (or an earth point
on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.
F

S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F

O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine turn.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments
before trying again. F

W
ait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F
R
efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F
A
llow the engine to run for at least
30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice 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:
-

i
f you only use your vehicle for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. If you plan to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries of 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.
F
S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

In the event of a breakdown

180
F Switch off the charger B before connecting the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

R
aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-

t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A ,
-

t
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A .
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
If this label is present, it is essential to
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 check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container 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 ser vice for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof),
F

s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F

s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
At the battery, detach the (+) terminal only.
