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 wish to charge your 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.

cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E

condition.
F

I

onnect the cables of charger B as follows:
-

t

terminal of battery A ,
-

t

C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A .
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged. 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. 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.
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,

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a
test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are given in the registration document,
as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop. The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a
maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle per formance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never
exceed a
speed of approximately 60 mph
(100
km/h) (obser ve the local legislation
in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a
stop, to facilitate its cooling.
