12 V battery
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.






The presence of this label indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification, for
which the involvement of a PEUGEOT
dealer or qualified workshop is required
when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation
may cause premature wear of the
battery.

After refitting the battery, the
Stop & Star t system will only be active
after several hours depending on the
climatic conditions and the state of
charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours). The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:


)
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,

)
remove the plastic cover to gain access to
the two terminals,

)
unclip the fusebox to remove the battery,
if necessary.



Access to the battery

Practical information

The 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.

Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the
engine if it is fitted with a 6 -speed
electronic gear control gearbox or an
automatic gearbox.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is to be left unused for
more than one month.

Before disconnecting the battery

Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.


Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before star ting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise:


- the remote control key,

- the panoramic sunroof blind,

- the GPS satellite navigation system.











Load reduction mode

System which manages the use of cer tain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

199
Practical information
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of thir ty minutes.








Energy economy mode


Switching to economy
mode
A message then appears in the instrument
panel screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the active
functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
system.


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run:


- for less than ten minutes, to use
the equipment for approximately
five minutes,

- for more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty minutes.

Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from star ting
(refer to the "Battery" section).

Checks





























Checks
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Maintenance and Warranty Guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


Battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical
information" section for details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.

Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
replacement inter vals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.

Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.


Oil filter






The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is required when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery.










Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Display of this warning lamp or a specific
message, together with the ser vice warning lamp,
indicates the star t of saturation of the par ticle
filter or low level in the Diesel additive reser voir.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the ser vice warning lamp goes off.
If the ser vice warning lamp stays on,
this indicates a low additive level. Have
the additive reser voir topped up and
the par ticle emission filter ser viced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or
the environment.

This call is dealt with by the PEUGEOT Emergency team which receives
locating information from the vehicle and can send a detailed alert to the
appropriate emergency services. In countries in which the team is not
operational, or when the locating service has been expressly declined,
the call is dealt with directly by the emergency services (112) without the
vehicle location.

If an impact is detected by the airbag ECU, and independently
of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency call is made
automatically.



*
These services are subject to conditions and availability.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If you purchased your vehicle outside the PEUGEOT dealer network,
we invite you to have a dealer check the confi guration of these services
and, if desired, modifi ed to suit your wishes. In a multi-lingual country,
confi guration is possible in the offi cial national language of your choice.

The system is protected in such a way that it will only
operate in your vehicle. If it is to be installed in another
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer for confi guration of
the system.
