(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
b o o s t e r.
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 the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to the moving parts of the engine

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.

witch off charger B before connecting the
cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks. 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 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.
