Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.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 slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a
minimum capacity equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

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

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

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

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the 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 run.
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.

174
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:
-
I
f you use your vehicle essentially 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 envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-based batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the charger manufacturer.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
F
S
witch 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 . 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 any 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.

Identification markings
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the passenger compartment filter.
B Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
The number is recorded on a label, visible
through the windscreen.
C Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the centre pillar on
the driver’s side.
It bears the following information:
-

T

he tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions.
-

T

he tyre sizes.
-

T

he spare tyre inflation pressure.
-

T

he paint colour code. Low tyre pressure introduces the risk of a
burst tyre.
D
Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the lower part
of the right hand centre pillar. Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm. In this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.

Using the telephone
Pairing a telephone
First connection
The services offered depend on
the network, the SIM card and the
compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone
used.
Check the instructions for your telephone
and with your service provider for the
services to which you have access.
As a safety measure and because they
require prolonged attention on the part
of the driver, the operations for pairing
of the Bluetooth mobile telephone with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the ignition on.

Frequently asked questions
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD...). To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio, CD...).Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-
Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "None"
and set the loudness correction to the "Active"
position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position
in radio mode.
When changing the settings for treble and bass,
the ambience setting is deselected.
When changing the ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambience imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.

QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected. Choosing a distribution setting imposes a
balance setting. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed ...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.Activate the RDS mode and start a new search
for the station so that the system can check
whether a stronger transmitter is available in the
geographic area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks...) block reception, including
in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for
example when going through an automatic car
wash or in an underground car park). Have the antenna checked by the PEUGEOT

network.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency giving better
reception of the station.Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic
information.Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not found (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the
