171
In the event of a breakdown
8If after approximately 7 minutes, the
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

Move the switch to position
"O".
►

Disconnect the compressor's electric plug
from the vehicle's 12

V socket.
►

Remove the kit.
►


Refit the cap on the valve.
►


Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the
environment; take it to a PEUGEOT dealer or
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.


► Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between
12 and 37
mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the
puncture.
►

Stop to check the repair
and the tyre
pressure using the kit:
•

If the tyre pressure is incorrect, contact a
PEUGEOT

dealer to have the tyre changed.
•

If the tyre pressure is correct, drive a second
time for approximately 3

miles (5 kilometres)
at reduced speed (between 12 and 37
mph
(20 and 60
km/h)), stop then check again
the tyre pressure using the kit to confirm the
effective repair of the tyre.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80

km/h) and do not drive more than
125

miles (200 km).
You must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the repair checked
and the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep
it in a clean place.
►


Uncoil
the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►

Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly

.
►

Check that the compressor switch is in
position

"O".
►

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.
►

Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12

V socket.
►

Switch the ignition on.
►


Start the compressor by placing the switch at
position

"I" and adjust the pressure to the value
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To
deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged;
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position

"O".
►

Remove the kit and stow it.
►


Refit the cap on the valve. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever
, then the external safety catch.
►

Raise the bonnet.
(+)

Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located near
the battery.
Starting using another battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never 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
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►

W
ait for it to return to idle.
►

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.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.
Stop & Start).
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:
–

When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–


If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever A fully.
► Refit open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
►

Push clamp
B fully down.
►

Lower lever

A
to lock clamp B.
►

Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the

(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever when pressing on
it, as if the clamp is not positioned
correctly, locking will then not be possible.
Start the procedure again.
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).
With Rechargeable hybrid
engines
The rechargeable hybrid system has two accessory batteries: one at the front and one at
the centre of the vehicle.
Replacing the accessory batteries
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Jump-starting another vehicle
Do not start or jump-start another vehicle
using the vehicle’s accessory batteries.
Accessing the accessory batteries
Front
The front battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal: ►
Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever
, then the external safety catch.
►
Raise the bonnet.
(+)
Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located near
the battery.
Central
The central battery is located in the front armrest
storage compartment.
To reach the battery:




► Open the front armrest.
► Unclip the compartment's floor .
(+) Positive terminal, protected by a red plastic
cover (not accessible).
