12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
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.
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. Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12
V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking
brake, put the gearbox in neutral, then
switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.

Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is flat, the engine
can be started using a backup battery (external
or from another vehicle) and jump leads 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.
First check 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.
