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.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is placed near
the battery.
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 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.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F
u
nlock the bonnet by activating the internal
release lever, then the external safety catch.
F
r
aise the bonnet.
F
L

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.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
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.

t
he negative (-) black cable to earth point
C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A .
In the event of a breakdown

235
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.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
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.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminalReconnecting the (+) terminal
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
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.

operational during the trip following the
next engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
Towing the vehicle

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.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing by 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 62 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.
